[squid-users] [ext] Squid quits while starting?!

[Dave Blanchard]

Squid's user friendliness could use a major overhaul. I absolutely despise programs which are designed this way. It just silently fails on startup with no obvious reason or explanation given, even if one enables debug output to find out why. Instead you have to get online and search, ask questions in a mailing list, etc to find out you have to type in some obscure commands. 

"Too few ssl_crtd processes are running" and "FATAL: The ssl_crtd helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help!" are some of the dumbest error messages ever conceived. Reminds me of every web site these days with their "Oops something went wrong lol" errors.
