Hi, I am running Squid 2.4.7-1 on a Debian Potato system with the 2.4.19 = kernel. I have been running squid for about a year on this box with no = problems. Suddenly last week the cache started giving timeout errors = within a fraction of a second of requesting the page. The addresses in = question all resolve OK and it does the same thing if I use IPs. If you = keep hitting refresh it sometimes draws part of the page and sometimes = the whole thing, but nearly always comes back with the read timeout, no = url page.
I have been through squid.conf and tried everything that seemed sane, = the read timeouts are set to normal default values. I tried nuking and rebuilding the cache but no effect. I can restart = squid and it still does the same thing, I have tailed all the log files = on max debug (500MB cache.log in about 3 mins!) but I can't find any = obvious cause, squid reports a cache miss most of the time. The only thing that fixes the problem is a complete restart of the = server, after that it works fine for a few to several hours. Does anyone have any ideas? Rolf
