Hello All. I am new to Squid. I have compiled squid 3.3.8 on Lubuntu 14.04.1 system following the thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=68246 I have also turn on --enabled-ssl-crtd on the compilation rules. When starting squid terminates but does not provide much error information that I could go on an try to fix. I tried starting the squid with -X option in the startup script and adding debug_options to the configuration file, but still does not get any valuable information. Not at least for me as a newbe. The syslog errors are: May 12 10:46:03 Lubuntu kernel: [12418.628583] init: squid3 main process ended, respawning May 12 10:46:03 Lubuntu kernel: [12418.823803] init: squid3 main process (15760) terminated with status 1 May 12 10:46:03 Lubuntu kernel: [12418.823817] init: squid3 main process ended, respawning May 12 10:46:04 Lubuntu kernel: [12419.019733] init: squid3 main process (15772) terminated with status 1 May 12 10:46:04 Lubuntu kernel: [12419.019746] init: squid3 respawning too fast, stopped The cache.log is: 2015/05/12 10:46:03.953| tools.cc(664) enter_suid: enter_suid: PID 15760 taking root privileges 2015/05/12 10:46:03.953| cache_manager.cc(102) registerProfile: registering legacy config 2015/05/12 10:46:03.953| cache_manager.cc(87) registerProfile: registered profile: config 2015/05/12 10:46:03.953| mem.cc(498) Report: Memory pools are 'on'; limit: 5.000 MB 2015/05/12 10:46:03.953| Acl.cc(364) ~ACL: ACL::~ACL: ' 2015/05/12 10:46:03.953| Acl.cc(364) ~ACL: ACL::~ACL: ' 2015/05/12 10:46:03.953| Acl.cc(364) ~ACL: ACL::~ACL: ' 2015/05/12 10:46:03.953| Acl.cc(364) ~ACL: ACL::~ACL: ' 2015/05/12 10:46:03.953| Acl.cc(364) ~ACL: ACL::~ACL: ' 2015/05/12 10:46:03.953| Acl.cc(364) ~ACL: ACL::~ACL: ' 2015/05/12 10:46:03.953| Acl.cc(364) ~ACL: ACL::~ACL: ' 2015/05/12 10:46:03.953| Acl.cc(364) ~ACL: ACL::~ACL: ' 2015/05/12 10:46:03.953| Acl.cc(364) ~ACL: ACL::~ACL: ' (this repeats for many lines) My configuration file content is: debug_options=ALL,3 auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid3/basic_radius_auth -f /etc/radius_config auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm Squid Proxy Server Web Access auth_param basic credentialsttl 30 second acl SSL_ports port 443 acl Safe_ports port 80 # 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 acl localnet src 192.168.56.0/24 acl radius proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow localhost manager http_access deny manager http_access deny !radius http_access allow localnet http_access allow localhost http_access deny all http_port 3128 ssl-bump cert=/etc/squid3/serverkey.pem generate-host-certificates=off dynamic_cert_mem_cache_size=4MB always_direct allow all sslcrtd_program /usr/lib/squid3/ssl_crtd -s /var/lib/ssl_db -M 4MB sslcrtd_children 6 startup=2 idle=2 cache_dir ufs /squidcache/cache_dir 256 16 256 coredump_dir /var/spool/squid3 url_rewrite_children 6 startup=2 idle=2 refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0 refresh_pattern (Release|Packages(.gz)*)$ 0 20% 2880 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 cache_effective_user proxy url_rewrite_program /usr/bin/squidGuard -c /etc/squidguard/squidGuard.conf cache_effective_group proxy _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
