[squid-users] Squid stopped working after cache.log and access.log rotation

[Chee M Gui]

Hi All

We recently installed Squid 3.5.12-1ubuntu7.3 on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS.  It
ran fine at first but stopped working after a while.   telnet server 3128
still works, i.e., opens a blank window, but Squid is just not accepting
requests.    Then we realized that there is no new access.log file.   The
access.log file stopped rotated at 6:24AM on 3/17/2017.    It looks like
Squid wasn't able to create a new access.log?  We could not find any error
message in syslog or the cache.log.      We haven't rebooted the server
because we want to know what went wrong.   It isn't the firewall blocking
Squid because Squid was working fine all the while until recently.  Also
after it stopped working, we disabled the firewall to see if it would work
but it still didn't work.

-rw-r----- 1 proxy proxy    117223 Mar 17 05:52 netdb.state

Any ideas what went wrong?

Thank you very much in anticipation.
