Hi list :) I have just subscribed and I am new to this list so excuse me if I ask something that has already been answered (I've searched the archives but haven't found anything). I am trying to set up Squid as a Proxy for our LAN in our Faculty (absolutely all clients are Win9x) but I always get the same error messages. I am using SuSE 6.3 and have installed Squid 2 that comes with this distro (I haven't compiled, just installed it). The errors I get are: cache.log --------- 2000/02/11 08:52:29| Starting Squid Cache version 2.2.STABLE5 for i686-pc-linux-gnu... 2000/02/11 08:52:29| Process ID 145 2000/02/11 08:52:29| With 1024 file descriptors available 2000/02/11 08:52:29| helperOpenServers: Starting 5 'dnsserver' processes 2000/02/11 08:52:30| commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 2 to 127.0.0.1:0: (99) Cannot assign requested address 2000/02/11 08:52:30| commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 2 to 127.0.0.1:0: (99) Cannot assign requested address 2000/02/11 08:52:30| ipcCreate: Failed to create child FD. 2000/02/11 08:52:30| WARNING: Cannot run '/usr/sbin/dnsserver' process. 2000/02/11 08:52:30| commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 2 to 127.0.0.1:0: (99) Cannot assign requested address 2000/02/11 08:52:30| commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 2 to 127.0.0.1:0: (99) Cannot assign requested address 2000/02/11 08:52:30| ipcCreate: Failed to create child FD. 2000/02/11 08:52:30| WARNING: Cannot run '/usr/sbin/dnsserver' process. 2000/02/11 08:52:30| commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 2 to 127.0.0.1:0: (99) Cannot assign requested address 2000/02/11 08:52:30| commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 2 to 127.0.0.1:0: (99) Cannot assign requested address 2000/02/11 08:52:30| ipcCreate: Failed to create child FD. 2000/02/11 08:52:30| WARNING: Cannot run '/usr/sbin/dnsserver' process. 2000/02/11 08:52:30| commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 2 to 127.0.0.1:0: (99) Cannot assign requested address 2000/02/11 08:52:30| commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 2 to 127.0.0.1:0: (99) Cannot assign requested address 2000/02/11 08:52:30| ipcCreate: Failed to create child FD. 2000/02/11 08:52:30| WARNING: Cannot run '/usr/sbin/dnsserver' process. 2000/02/11 08:52:30| commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 2 to 127.0.0.1:0: (99) Cannot assign requested address 2000/02/11 08:52:30| commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 2 to 127.0.0.1:0: (99) Cannot assign requested address 2000/02/11 08:52:30| ipcCreate: Failed to create child FD. 2000/02/11 08:52:30| WARNING: Cannot run '/usr/sbin/dnsserver' process. 2000/02/11 08:52:30| Unlinkd pipe opened on FD 6 2000/02/11 08:52:30| Swap maxSize 921600 KB, estimated 153600 objects 2000/02/11 08:52:30| Target number of buckets: 3072 2000/02/11 08:52:30| Using 8192 Store buckets, replacement runs every 10 seconds 2000/02/11 08:52:30| Max Mem size: 8192 KB 2000/02/11 08:52:30| Max Swap size: 921600 KB 2000/02/11 08:52:30| Rebuilding storage in Cache Dir #0 (DIRTY) 2000/02/11 08:52:30| Set Current Directory to /usr/local/squid/cache 2000/02/11 08:52:30| Loaded Icons. 2000/02/11 08:52:31| Accepting HTTP connections on port 3128, FD 28. 2000/02/11 08:52:31| Accepting ICP messages on port 3130, FD 29. 2000/02/11 08:52:31| Accepting HTCP messages on port 0, FD 30. 2000/02/11 08:52:31| Ready to serve requests. 2000/02/11 08:52:31| storeRebuildFromDirectory: DIR #0 done! 2000/02/11 08:53:22| storeLateRelease: released 0 objects 2000/02/11 08:53:22| Finished rebuilding storage disk. 2000/02/11 08:53:22| 0 Entries read from previous logfile. 2000/02/11 08:53:22| 0 Entries scanned from swap files. 2000/02/11 08:53:22| 0 Invalid entries. 2000/02/11 08:53:22| 0 With invalid flags. 2000/02/11 08:53:22| 0 Objects loaded. 2000/02/11 08:53:22| 0 Objects expired. 2000/02/11 08:53:22| 0 Objects cancelled. 2000/02/11 08:53:22| 0 Duplicate URLs purged. 2000/02/11 08:53:22| 0 Swapfile clashes avoided. 2000/02/11 08:53:22| Took 52 seconds ( 0.0 objects/sec). 2000/02/11 08:53:22| Beginning Validation Procedure 2000/02/11 08:53:22| Completed Validation Procedure 2000/02/11 08:53:22| Validated 0 Entries 2000/02/11 08:53:22| store_swap_size = 21k and the access.log: ---------- FATAL: Too many queued dnsserver requests I've been trying to configure it for two days (today's the third), and I always get the same error. I've checked out /usr/sbin/dnsserver and it's got the right permissions, I've also checked out ownership, ... everything seems to be OK. I've also read the Squid FAQs and tried out the answers -> no results. If anyone can help out :) Thanx in advance Rafa -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
