What value do you have for cache_dir? This should help set how big your cache should grow. Ralph

I am using squid as an accelerating proxy. All cached objects should expire after 24 hours at the latest. However, there are still objects as e.g. ~/cache/01/01/00100040 which has been saved on March, 8th and where the header within the cache-object says: Date: Mon, 08 Mar 2004 06:41:59 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) Cache-Control: max-age=1800 Expires: Mon, 08 Mar 2004 07:11:59 GMT ... ... Now I wonder: Why hasn't this object been purged by squid yet? Squid just consumes more and more diskspace, until 100 % is full, and then crashes. Shouldn't squid be able to purge these files automatically after expiration time? What I do now, is to start with a clean cache after 40-50 days. The cachedir then immediately increases by 2-3 GB every day. But that's not the way it is supposed to work, is it? What am I doing wrong? Any hints appreciated, thank you -- Mit freundlichem Gru� Henrik Steffen Gesch�ftsf�hrer top concepts Internetmarketing GmbH Am Steinkamp 7 - D-21684 Stade - Germany -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.topconcepts.de Tel. +49 1805 9977 501* mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax. +49 1805 9977 502* -------------------------------------------------------- SMS Versand ab 9.9 Cent: http://sms-gw.topconcepts.de -------------------------------------------------------- Handelsregister: AG Stade HRB 5811 - UstId: DE 213645563 -------------------------------------------------------- *) EUR 0,12/Min.
