Look at IPCop's Information page, and scroll down to Disk usage. If a
harddrive is reported as 100% used, that's your problem.

Cure

If it's the root partition (/), look at the size of the web proxy cache on
the Services page. Try a smaller size, and then hit the Save button. The
proxy should reconfigure itself fairly quickly, creating some space on the
disk.

If it's the /var/log partition, log into the IPCop box as root and inspect
the contents of the /var/log directory.

cd /var/log
ls -al

Delete files with the rm command. Take care, it's a powerful command. For
example, to remove all files in the current directory ending in 6.gz

rm *6.gz

Continue until you've created some space. There are also some other
directories to look in for old log files. Snort, the Intrusion Detection
System (IDS) creates large log files.

Apache logs are in /var/log/httpd
Snort logs are in /var/log/snort
Squid logs are in /var/log/squid
