Hmm, you are likely to get advised 'from everyone' to use the latest stable release (2.5S4) Support for 2.4 versions is fading out, (rapid). > > On which platform/os/version ? > > > > Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche) > > What's in cache.log when squid dies ? > > > Here is a tail of the cache.log > > > >2003/10/18 02:14:27| helperOpenServers: Starting 30 'squid_ldap_auth' > processes > > > 2003/10/18 02:14:27| Unlinkd pipe opened on FD 39 > > > 2003/10/18 02:14:27| Swap maxSize 102400 KB, estimated 7876 objects > > > 2003/10/18 02:14:27| Target number of buckets: 393 > > > 2003/10/18 02:14:27| Using 8192 Store buckets > > > 2003/10/18 02:14:27| Max Mem size: 8192 KB > > > 2003/10/18 02:14:27| Max Swap size: 102400 KB > > > 2003/10/18 02:14:27| Rebuilding storage in /var/spool/squid (DIRTY) > > > 2003/10/18 02:14:27| Using Least Load store dir selection > > > 2003/10/18 02:14:27| Set Current Directory to /var/spool/squid This 'window' from the file, does not give the info I am looking for. I just mean, as squid crashes look for something like 'FATAL'. I need a full startup trace and what is just before that (the crash probably).
