Squid Cache won't cache

jwaterbury:
I have been having a problem for some time now and have not found a resolution for it anywhere. My squid is working great with content filtering but it will not cache any of the web sites visited. I have checked over and over the config file and all looks good from what I see. I have also designated a user and group in the config file and ensured that the same info was in the directory permissions for the cache folder and the log folder. I have stopped and restarted the cache and no change. I check the swap.state file and even after days have passed it is still empty as well are the folders in the cache folder. Where am I going wrong? Please Help!!!!

Thanks :?

Ricky:
Kindly give me more details.. Give me last 20 lines of your cache.log,
Also look in your cache directory and go little deep to see if all directory are created or not. ie there should be directories inside the dirctories.. Also see if all the directories can be written by squid user ie under the user you are running squid!

or you can delete your cache directories then make a fresh one then give it permission to be written by squid user and then initialize it using -z directive.

I had the proxt server going for the the first time correctly on friday. I checked the swap.state file and it began getting larger. I also checked the folder the informatiion should be stored in and sure enough there were files being created. This ended and has not come back since a -k reconfigure I had to do after making a change to the content filter settings. I have checked over and over the access rights to the folders and have not made any changes to the configuration since it was working on friday. I am completely stumped!

Ricky:
Your squid configuration is seems to be right but still it is not starting, your log says that your squid is terminated.
The problem is that the port 3128 which is used by squid is already in use , may be by other application.

So to resolve this problem you have to either free that port by closing that application or make squid to use another port , say port 8000

Ok then to change port you have to do following ie have to edit squid.conf
in squid.conf look for following lines..

--- Code: ---http_port 3128
--- End code ---
and replace those with

--- Code: ---http_port 8000
--- End code ---

After doing that you have to change all reference to port 3128 to port 8000 in browser etc.. I hope you can do that.

jwaterbury:
Thanks I will give that a shot. The funny thing is tht squid is starting just not caching. It is serving all requests for the web sites. When I shutdown squid any workstation that was pointing to it as a proxy server will no longer be able to browse the web. That's what's so confsing. Why would squid start say it terminated but still serve requests? There was only one time like I said before that it worked correctly starting up and caching. Everything looked good.
