[squid-users] Squid 3.5.2 will only start if cache directory is empty

Wed Mar 18 22:29:22 UTC 2015

I posted this message to the list a few days ago but haven't received any
responses yet. I am hoping someone might be able to provide some insight on
what is going on.

I have been trying to get Squid 3.5.2 to work with the Smoothwall Express
3.1 Linux firewall distribution. Specifically, I have modified the Squid
version included with Smoothwall Express 3.1 to enable HTTPS caching. I
have had this working successfully up to Squid version 3.4.10. Now with
trying to upgrade to Squid 3.5.2 I am having problems that I didn't
encounter with prior versions of Squid.

The first issue I had, which is now resolved, was improper permissions of
the shm folder (in SWE found in /dev/shm). Changing the folder permissions
to Squid user and group allowed Squid 3.5.2 to start. However, now it will
only start with an empty cache directory. Once it starts with an empty
cache directory, it seems to function correctly as far as caching SSL
encrypted web pages. However, if Squid needs to be restarted for any
reason, it will not restart until the cache directory
(/var/spool/squid/cache) is emptied.

The error I am getting when trying to start Squid 3.5.2 without an empty
cache is

What is the "squid-ssl_session_cache". Am I supposed to define that
somewhere in the
Squid configuration? Is that why I am getting that error message because an
ssl_session_cache is not defined somewhere?

This is my squid.conf file with SSL caching using ssl-bump enabled.
