    This is the error it is a segment fault right?

      Oh, yes you need Squid to listen on localhost to see the stats from it. That's how it is queried.

        @stephenw10 so that solved my error, normally would that generate a corefile? Squid developers said I can manually generate a core dump also to get the stack

        For example, if you want to abort a Squid worker process that has OS process ID (PID) 12345, you may do something like this:
        
           sudo kill -SIGABRT 12345
        
        You can use "ps" or "top" commands to learn PIDs of processes you want to signal.
        
        

        When I did this it also showed no core file.

          @stephenw10 that swap file it creates is not readable it’s compiled information also. Just a side note

            If a process aborts and creates a core file you should see something like:

            Mar 19 23:14:22 	kernel 		pid 76582 (php-fpm), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) 
            
            May  7 15:15:47 fw1 kernel: pid 65129 (pftop), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped)

              @stephenw10 do you know how or what commands are used to manually trigger it for squid?

                Nope not something I've ever tried. Did you try the command they gave you?

                  @JonathanLee said in Enable core file dumps when an application crashes or segmentation faults:

                  coredump_dir /root

                  Where did you set that?

                    @stephenw10 yes it showed blank from command input in GUI it killed the process but no core file it didn’t generate one when I used that command

                    I am going to try this one recommend by a freeBSD forum user

                    
                    killall -11 squid worked for me (as root)

                        It tries to dump the core for both the main and child squid processes here but fails with:

                        Jun 12 19:02:08 	kernel 		pid 80887 (squid), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 6 (no core dump - bad address)
                        Jun 12 19:01:48 	kernel 		pid 33418 (squid), jid 0, uid 100: exited on signal 6 (no core dump - bad address)

                          @stephenw10 that looks like a permissions issue with Squid I wonder if we set it to squid logs location if that would work? Bad address? Does it mean path?

                            Yes I assume it's trying to dump somewhere it can't or has nothing configured.

                            I don't expect to set that value in the Squid config. It shows the same for other processes. Seems like a FreeBSD env value missing.

                                      Try using kill -6 or kill -11 against the PID rather than all 'squid' processes.
