But you have to admit this: I read the error message (I'm no devel, just a mere admin), which CLEARLY stated what was wrong (the DB needs to be initialized). This is so much better than windows, which usually says something like "A generic error occured: -34", which tells you nothing. At all. > That is false.

Squid COULD have initialized the DB itself. That's the criticism I'm willing to allow. If it KNOWS what's wrong, why not "fix" it itself. -- Ralf Hildebrandt Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netz | Netzwerk-Administration Invalidenstraße 120/121 | D-10115 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 ralf.hildebrandt@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.charite.de _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
