[squid-users] HTTPS woes

[Olly Lennox]

Hi Alex,


Thanks for your response. I can confirm that disabling the ssl sesison cache seems to have resolved the issue. I found another post which references this patch to resolve the issue:

http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v4/changesets/squid-4-13984.patch

I've checked the source in main.cc and this seems quite different to what I have in 3.5.23 so I guess it would involve an upgrade to version 4? After the blood and tears I have gone through to get 3.5 working I don't think I'm read to make that leap yet!!

I check and the /dev/shm directory does exist with 777 permissions so from what I can see the OS should support it. I'm out of my depth here so maybe there is more to it but I can't see why squid couldn't write to this location.

No, it is not (or at least not yet).

The FATAL line is unrelated to the ssl_crtd line above it (this is one
of several problems with FATAL error handling in Squid).

Squid is failing when trying to open a shared memory segment used for
storing SSL sessions. This probably means two things:

1. Your OS environment is not compatible with Squid shared memory needs
(e.g., missing /dev/shm/ or equivalent). More info at
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/SmpScale#Ipc::Mem::Segment::create_failed_to_shm_open.28....29:_.282.29_No_such_file_or_directory

2. There is a bug in Squid: Squid should not create shared memory
segments when running in non-SMP mode. Please consider reporting this
bug if it has not been reported already. At the expense of losing SSL
session resumption capabilities, you should be able to work around this
bug by disabling the session cache:

HTH,

Alex.
