OK, cache.log shows it created the cache structure. Your system seems to be totally loaded with various packages. Unless this is a production firewall, you might want to try removing some of the extra packages and then try again with just Squid3.

firefox

There are fewer packages on 2.2.4

from the Packages that were on 2.1.5

squid
snort
Sarg
Avahi
Check_mk agent
pfBlockerNG
Service Watchdog
arpwatch

it is an old computer that i use for pfsense

As finicky as Squid can be, I've never had the kind of ongoing issues that you seem to have. That's why I suggested blowing it all up and starting off fresh, one thing at a time. I had my own issues last Friday when trying to go from 0.2.8 to 0.2.9. Nothing worked after the upgrade. Good thing for me I'm virtual and I just rolled back to the good config.

firefox

I would try it
I will make an image of the hard disk first

I would give it another week
If I do not succeed
Then I will format

I had my own issues last Friday when trying to go from 0.2.8 to 0.2.9. Nothing worked after the upgrade.

I found that after an upgrade I need to delete the squid cache or else webpages will not load (took me awhile to work out that was the issue).

firefox

It's the first thing I tried
Usually
When the machine is turned off in a disjointed fashion

Then squid causing problems

Then I do what you said

cd /var/squid/cache
rm -rf *
squid -z

I agree with KOM, maybe its time for a format and reinstall.

Thanks. My next maintenance window is this Friday night. I'll try it again after whacking the cache structure.
