Hi I just added the following lines: workers 4 cache_dir aufs /squid-cache0${process_number} 100000 64 512 cache_dir aufs /squid-cache0${process_number} 100000 64 512 cache_dir aufs /squid-cache0${process_number} 100000 64 512 cache_dir aufs /squid-cache0${process_number} 100000 64 512 I tried the following reloads: - kill -1 on the squid main process -> no success. - kill -1 on the squid-coord-process -> no success. "No success" hereby means, that after the SIGHUP -> no 3128 listener was reachable -> a kid5 was tried to access a cache_dir /squid-cache05, which does not exist Kind regards, Tom On Tue, Jan 8, 2013 at 6:52 AM, Tianyin Xu <tixu@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, Tom, > > What did you change in the configuration file? > > t > > > On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 6:10 AM, Tom Tom <tomtux007@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> Hi >> >> I'm using 3.2.5 with four workers (workers 4).
