my current settings are:

log storage dir /var/squid/logs
rotate log 2000
proxy port 3128

Cache Management setting:
HD cache size 3000
Mem cache size 200
Min object size 0
Maximum object size 1000
Min object size in RAM 32 and rest of setting are set to default….

The problem is I do not know how to use command line or their is no instruction available how to fix this using cmd line...Please help...thanks in advance.

Squid shouldn't care about your IP address AFAIK since it just uses a port forward rule to redirect all LAN port 80 traffic to 127.0.0.1:3128. I've read that this error can happen if you have cache issues or a full filesystem, so check those. What's up with the IP6 gateway errors?

Thanks for reply KOM…
Their are lots of IP6 errors in logs, I don't know how to fix it but it does not stop internet. But this squid error slow internet a lot. Can you guide me how to clear cache from gui or cmd line? I did try to remove and re install squid but no luck...my box spec..
2.1.4-RELEASE (i386) (did not update to 2 1 5 bcs I try on my other box but did not go well bcs dns, on gui can't click on system and help,gold member over lapping on menu bar)
Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N280 @ 1.66GHz
2 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 1 core(s) x 2 HTT threads
3 GB memory, 4GB swap, 50 GB HD
My squid setup is listed on my previous post...

Shell in and run

rm -r /var/squid/cache/*

jimp

Usually when that happens the cache has been corrupted somehow (usually a sudden power loss).

It's a bit quicker to run:

mv /var/squid/cache /var/squid/cache.old
squid -z
rm -rf /var/squid/cache.old

You can then safely restart squid while the rm runs, rather than having to wait for it. If your cache was large it could take a significant amount of time to run the rm command.

@phil.davis:

@jimp:

rm -rf /var/squid/cache

I guess you intended this to be:
rm -rf /var/squid/cache.old

Yep. fixed.

Thanks for reply guys…
I did set my box to default twice but no luck. When I install squid/sarg again even after default my all old setting and logs was already there on both packages!! Did fresh install 2.1.5.

rm -r /var/squid/cache/*

thanks bro
