Hi Everyone, I know this has been addressed before, but i am getting this error with just making one change to the squid.conf file. The system filelimit is set at 16384 and squid at 4096. Here is my squid.conf acl localnet src 192.168.13.0/24 acl localnet src 127.0.0.1 acl SSL_ports port 443 acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 8080 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 # https acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow localhost manager http_access deny manager http_access deny to_localhost http_access allow localnet http_access allow localhost http_access deny all http_port 192.168.13.1:3128 http_port 192.168.13.1:3129 intercept https_port 192.168.13.1:3130 intercept ssl-bump generate-host-certificates=on cert=/etc/squid/myCA.pem dns_nameservers 127.0.0.1 acl ip_https_targets dst "/etc/squid/ip_https_targets.conf" ssl_bump server-first ip_https_targets sslproxy_cert_error allow all sslcrtd_children 5 cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 100 16 256 coredump_dir /var/spool/squid refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 icap_enable on icap_preview_enable on icap_preview_size 4096 icap_persistent_connections on icap_send_client_ip on icap_send_client_username on icap_client_username_header X-Client-Username icap_service qlproxy1 reqmod_precache 0 icap://127.0.0.1:1344/reqmod icap_service qlproxy2 respmod_precache 0 icap://127.0.0.1:1344/respmod acl icap_exclusions dstdomain "/etc/squid/icap_exclusion_domains.conf" adaptation_access qlproxy1 deny icap_exclusions adaptation_access qlproxy1 allow all adaptation_access qlproxy2 allow all max_filedesc 4096 cache deny all debug_options ALL,1 33,2 The small change i have to make to cause squid to reach the file limit is ssl_bump server-first all Does anyone know why this would happen? -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/WARNING-Your-cache-is-running-out-of-filedescriptors-tp4666357.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
