Re: [squid-users] Problem restarting/stopping squid

First make sure that logrotate is doing all the work (squid reload), and that the init script has the correct paths/access rights to the PID file.

Hi,

I use squid squid-2.6.STABLE21-3.el5 on CentOS 5.4. The problem is
that squid can't be restarted and "rotate" isnt working, I mean log
rotating is done but I have to start the service by hand.

/var/log/squid/squid.out it says:

2010/09/16 09:59:27| Squid is already running! Process ID 30874

/etc/squid/squid.conf contains: shutdown_lifetime 100 seconds

/etc/logrotate.d/squid has:

/var/log/squid/access.log {
    weekly
    rotate 3
    size 3500M
    copytruncate
    compress
    notifempty
    missingok
}
/var/log/squid/cache.log {
    weekly
    rotate 4
    size 1000M
    copytruncate
    compress
    notifempty
    missingok
}

/var/log/squid/store.log {
    weekly
    rotate 4
    size 1000M
    copytruncate
    compress
    notifempty
    missingok
    postrotate
    postrotate
      /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate
    endscript
}

And what about PID file?:

ls -l /var/run/squid.pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 root squid 6 Sep 16 09:59 /var/run/squid.pid

And what about disk space?

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
                      145G 131G 6.0G 96% /
/dev/sda1 99M 19M 75M 21% /boot
tmpfs 3.5G 0 3.5G 0% /dev/shm

If you want to take a look to init script, you can do it on

Please could you tell me what's wrong with my config

Thanks in advance!
