I know I have posted about this a couple of days ago, but no help has really been given. I have tried the SQUID build
from February 23rd, and I still get an external ACL problem when shutting down..
I start the external ACL with this in the squid.conf
external_acl_type referer concurrency=45 %DST %{Referer} /opt/squid/libexec/referer.pl
acl REFERER external referer
It does have 45 instances of it running when squid stops, and each of our squid boxes do get a LOT of traffic. They each constantly push about 15 Mbit of data.
Anyway, when I do a squid -k shutdown I get THOUSANDS PER SECOND error messages in cache.log saying:
2003/02/23 21:50:02| externalAclLookup: 'referer' queue overload
2003/02/23 21:50:02| externalAclLookup: 'referer' queue overload
2003/02/23 21:50:02| externalAclLookup: 'referer' queue overload
2003/02/23 21:50:02| externalAclLookup: 'referer' queue overload
2003/02/23 21:50:02| externalAclLookup: 'referer' queue overload
And I will keep getting this message until I do a
killall squid
I know there have supposed to have been fixes to this in the last few days, but when I build I don't see it. I simply can NOT shut down cleanly which means I get dirty cache everytime?? Is this a problem with external ACLs that people know about and plan on fixing, or should I be out looking for an alternative?
I will also willing to pay to have this problem fixed if someone knows. We make little changes to our squid all the time and we need a reliable way to shutdown the server.
Thanks to all!
Matt
