      Good Morning,

      I am having trouble keeping the Squid service running.  I have tried to read through the forum posts & other online resources but have come up empty on how to solve this.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

      pfSense 2.2.4
      squid3 0.3.4
      squidGuard 1.9.15

      Intel: Atom CPU D2500 @ 1.86GHz, Dual Core
      25% of 4,044 MB Memory Usage
      0% of 8192 MB SWAP Usage
      Disk usage (ufs): 10% of 50G

        Ran into the issue a week ago. Squid seemed to randomly stop on its own.
        Workaround was to go to the Local Cache page and uncheck the box Clear cache on log rotate.

          Thank you trinidadrancheria!  I can confirm, that unchecking Clear Cache on Log Rotate did fix the issue.  Much appreciated!

            I'll replace the log message with something less misleading, reflecting the user configuration and reasons why's it being cleared. Done here:

            https://raw.githubusercontent.com/doktornotor/pfsense-packages/patch-2/config/squid3/34/swapstate_check.php

            Also changed the insane cronjob to not run every 15 minutes but every 6 hours instead. There are major cleanups and bunch of fixes for the Squid3 thing @ https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/pull/1080 so if you can test the whole thing and provide feedback here it'll be appreciated.

              Already applied the fix, this has been my problem for weeks. I Will give feedback about the results.

              Thank you.

              Already tested it, squid stop after the swap state cron was executed. I end up unchecking the box Clear cache on log rotate under Local Cache page

                squid_dash_z('clean') now restarts the service; wait for 0.3.6 or grab the whole batch of fixes from https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/pull/1083/ since the linked commit alone will not work without the other changes.
