Re: [squid-users] "squid -z" hangs and does not work

Hi, Eliezer,

I didn't remove the debug section. The debug message keeps unchanged
if the swap directories are configured. But if nothing is configured
but the user run "squid -z", it will notify users to configure the
directory instead of saying "creating swap directory" without doing
anything.
