Hi, i have been using Squid squid-3.2.0.17-20120527-r11561 in an Ubuntu Server 12.04 some time with ssl-bump without problems for a year, the ca cert expired some days ago and with the new ca cert i installed squid 3.2.1 stable. Now the proxy exists every time 10 or more users use https at the same time, it's pretty strange, i have tried to downgrade to the old squid version but i can't get the proxy to be stable no matter if using new or old version, i have tried to recreate other cert just in case, same problem, i recreated too squid_ssl_db and cache_dir, no matter what i do it keeps crashing, the cache log read as this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Starting Squid Cache version 3.2.1 for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu... 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Process ID 30077 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Process Roles: master worker 2012/09/19 11:58:00| With 65535 file descriptors available 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Initializing IP Cache... 2012/09/19 11:58:00| DNS Socket created at [::], FD 4 2012/09/19 11:58:00| DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, FD 5 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Adding nameserver 80.58.61.250 from squid.conf 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Adding nameserver 8.8.8.8 from squid.conf 2012/09/19 11:58:00| helperOpenServers: Starting 5/10 'ssl_crtd' processes 2012/09/19 11:58:00| helperOpenServers: Starting 5/20 'request_body_max_size.sh' processes 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Logfile: opening log daemon:/var/log/squid3/access.log 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Logfile Daemon: opening log /var/log/squid3/access.log 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Unlinkd pipe opened on FD 31 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Local cache digest enabled; rebuild/rewrite every 3600/3600 sec 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Store logging disabled 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Swap maxSize 15360000 + 262144 KB, estimated 312442 objects 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Target number of buckets: 15622 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Using 16384 Store buckets 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Max Mem size: 262144 KB 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Max Swap size: 15360000 KB 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Rebuilding storage in /mnt/squid/squid3 (clean log) 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Using Least Load store dir selection 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Set Current Directory to /mnt/squid/squid3 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Loaded Icons. 2012/09/19 11:58:00| HTCP Disabled. 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Squid plugin modules loaded: 0 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Adaptation support is off. 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Accepting NAT intercepted HTTP Socket connections at local=0.0.0.0:3128 remote=[::] FD 36 flags=41 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Accepting SSL bumped HTTP Socket connections at local=[::]:3150 remote=[::] FD 37 flags=9 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Store rebuilding is 16.55% complete 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Done reading /mnt/squid/squid3 swaplog (24167 entries) 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Finished rebuilding storage from disk. 2012/09/19 11:58:00| 24167 Entries scanned 2012/09/19 11:58:00| 0 Invalid entries. 2012/09/19 11:58:00| 0 With invalid flags. 2012/09/19 11:58:00| 24167 Objects loaded. 2012/09/19 11:58:00| 0 Objects expired. 2012/09/19 11:58:00| 0 Objects cancelled. 2012/09/19 11:58:00| 0 Duplicate URLs purged. 2012/09/19 11:58:00| 0 Swapfile clashes avoided. 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Took 0.12 seconds (204025.29 objects/sec). 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Beginning Validation Procedure 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Completed Validation Procedure 2012/09/19 11:58:00| Validated 24167 Entries 2012/09/19 11:58:00| store_swap_size = 732468.00 KB 2012/09/19 11:58:01| storeLateRelease: released 0 objects (ssl_crtd): Cannot create ssl certificate or private key. 2012/09/19 12:03:20| WARNING: ssl_crtd #1 exited 2012/09/19 12:03:20| Too few ssl_crtd processes are running (need 1/10) 2012/09/19 12:03:20| Starting new helpers 2012/09/19 12:03:20| helperOpenServers: Starting 1/10 'ssl_crtd' processes 2012/09/19 12:03:20| client_side.cc(3477) sslCrtdHandleReply: "ssl_crtd" helper return <NULL> reply (ssl_crtd): Cannot create ssl certificate or private key. 2012/09/19 12:03:20| WARNING: ssl_crtd #2 exited 2012/09/19 12:03:20| Too few ssl_crtd processes are running (need 1/10) 2012/09/19 12:03:20| Closing HTTP port 0.0.0.0:3128 2012/09/19 12:03:20| Closing HTTP port [::]:3150 2012/09/19 12:03:20| storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting... 2012/09/19 12:03:20| Finished.

What could i do? Regards, Miguel Angel.
