Hi, I am using Ubuntu to configure squid proxy. My basic usage is to print a splash page whenever user open the browser. I have used the example in the following link : http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/Portal-Splash-Pages-example-on-squid-3-3-13-td4669634.html My config file is as follows: ## addition for splash page active external_acl_type session ipv4 concurrency=100 ttl=3 %SRC /usr/lib/squid/ext_session_acl -T 60 -b /var/lib/squid/session.db acl session_login external session LOGIN acl session_is_active external session acl clicked_login_url url_regex -i ^https://google.co.in/$ http_access allow clicked_login_url session_login http_access deny !session_is_active deny_info 511:/etc/squid3/splash.html session_is_active But on running squid, i get the following error FATAL: The session helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help! Please tell me what's wrong with my configuration. _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
