Re: [squid-users] Cache Size Limitation

Unfortunately the logfile has already been rotated out. I don't remember
the exact error message.

I couldn't get to cachemgr.

And yes, my squid startup scripts run as root. I will change this.

I just wish I knew why squid consumed all those resources. I appreciate
everyone's help.

Regards,

Tim Rainier

What exact message?

Better to start with cachemgr if your Squid is still at least partially
functioning.

You probably started Squid as root and not your cache_effective_user. Most

OS:es does not allow processes which have changed user id to leave core
dumps due to security reasons.
