[squid-users] Squid 2.7.STABLE9 suddenly fails to run

Hi,

I'm still having the problem described below. If there's no further
help forthcoming, or if this issue is just one of those things that
defies explanation, I'll just go ahead and perform a restore of the
whole installation from a recent backup. I'd rather not, but if I'm
getting no help it's all I have left.

Thank you.

S.

Hi,

Thanks for following up on this. I took your advice, but afterwards I
simply received the same error.

I performed a "ls -la" on ../squid, and I don't see any evidence of a
swap.state.clean or .tmp - all I have are the cache folders, my logs
folder and swap.state. Where could this be, as it seems to be where
the problem lies?
