<![CDATA[Squid (or lightsquid) stops working 1st day of each month?]]>i have pfSense 1.2,
squid 2.6.18.1_05, - updated recently but no change to this issue
lightsquid 1.7.1

the only other package i have is bandwidthd 2.0.1.1

it seems every first day of a new month squid, or at least lightsquid stops working, and no entries are found by generating reports. this has happened every month since i put together this pfSense machine. squid logs rotate weekly on mondays, and hitting refresh doesn't help, but reinstalling the packages solves the problem.

does anyone know whats going wrong? i have already reinstalled the packages this month, so next month i will try just one or the other to narrow down which package is iffy. any help appreciated, thanks in advance

well its november 1st and it seems to be ok now. whatever it is i did was after you suggesting it was to do with log rotation, so thank you you appear to have solved the problem.

cheers

for squid, i must have overlooked it when configuring it so it has been left blank (ie disabled)
lightsquid is weekly monday

you think squid's log not rotating is the problem?
