Well, managed to get squid running in SMP mode Short answer was I'd copied stuff from by 3.1.16 production service and was explicitly specifying ip addresses and ports to listen on. So ...
http_port 150.237.85.249:3128 http_port 150.237.84.13:3128 Resulted in no IP address being listened on when running in SMP mode but did if I fire up squid with -N arg. ( netstat -a showed squid listening on above IPv4 addresses) setting http_port 3128 however caused squid to listen on an IPv6 address and everything fired up and I could run squid in SMP mode. [ What I actually ended up doing was 1). Remove kernel option that disabled IPv6 and rebooted machine 2). Rebuilt squid having removed --disable-ipv6 3). Changed cache effective user to locally created "squid" user instead of the default of nobody ( this made a big difference to things actually running) 4). Started from scratch with supplied squid sample config file ad stepped through things till it broke. -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/Problem-with-latest-squid-3-2-snapshot-tp4104410p4107247.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
