Re: [squid-users] Squid service crashes abruptly

I had the same problem when I hit the 2 gig file size limit on my store.log
file I have since configured squid to not use a store.log file.

Anything in cache.log and/or your systems messages file?

Try starting Squid interactively

  /path/to/squid -DNYd3

The most common cause to problems like the above is

  a) Running out of disk space

  b) Hitting the magic 2GB file size limitation on the log file

Solution for 'a' is to configure your Squid to not use more space than
available.

Solution for 'b' is to use log rotation to rotate the logs before the 2GB
size is reached.
