Hi all, More on this - squid -k parse gives this warning about my file_descriptors line in squid.conf WARNING: max_filedescriptors disabled. Operating System setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE) is missing I've seen in a previous post from Amos that this is an issue. But how do I fix it? I've got another system with squid3.2 on, which doesn't have this issue. resources.h looks like it provides setrlimit method, and that's present in /usr/include... any idea what causes this? I assume I need a few more headers in there somewhere. thanks again, Jim On 31 January 2014 11:35, Mr J Potter <jpotter833@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Eleizer, > > thanks for getting back to me. > > OK - yes.
