Dear Squid Users,

I get this occasionally with with NCSA auth followed by a restart.

What does it mean?

RHEL6 x64
Squid 3.2.0.7


A helper process died or shutdown. But Squid internal state indicates
there were none of that type of helper running.

Thanks Amos,

Is there a limit to the amount of requests helpers can service?

The bundled helpers don't use the concurrency protocol yet, so they can handle 2 simultaneous requests each: one being worked on, and one queued waiting.


I have:

auth_param basic children 20 startup=20 idle=2

When this happens, helpers are running and available.

Yes, 20 maximum. minimum of 20 loaded on startup. These can handled 40 simultaneous client requests.

The error is about a helper closing/dying/shutdown when there are none running.

For example 20 helpers started, and 21 socket closed notices received by Squid.
