Squid FATAL: The basic authenticator helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help!!!
 
Hello all,
Running Squid version 2.6.STABLE21 on CentOS5 release 5.5 (Final) in non transparent mode. All the browsers are configured to connect to the squid on the said port. And that is working fine in conjunction with dansguardian.
Now I want to integrate ncsa_auth basic authentication mechanism into squid. And the error is what is mentioned in the thread title.
Here is cache.out file contents:

Squid Cache (Version 2.6.STABLE21): Terminated abnormally.
Looks like an authentication error, may be the passwd file is not readble by the user account that squid is trying to use? :confused:

linuxlover.chaitanya 01-13-2011 01:04 AM
No. That is not the error. passwd file is readable by squid user. It is world readable.

linuxlover.chaitanya 01-13-2011 01:08 AM
And this is what I see if I try to manually run the authenticator for the command line
Code:
[root@squid passwords]# /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/passwords/.htpasswd

I think there is no limit to ones stupidness. If there is, then I am an exception. Sorry solved the issue. The error was due to the spelling mistake of the directory name where password file resides. :o :doh: :banghead:

the splash_page helpers are crashing too rapidly need help
 
hi,
i am trying to configure squid proxy server and set up a splash page the moment browser is opened.

i have configured my /etc/squid3/squid.conf file as following :

acl localnet src 10.0.2.0/16
acl localnet src 10.0.3.0/16

acl localnet src 10.0.0.0/8 # RFC1918 possible internal network
acl SSL_ports port 443
acl Safe_ports port 80 # http
acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp
acl Safe_ports port 443 # https
acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher
acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais
acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports
http_access allow localhost manager
http_access deny manager
http_access allow localnet
http_access allow localhost
http_access deny all
http_port 3128
coredump_dir /var/spool/squid

## addition for splash page passive##

external_acl_type splash_page ttl=60 concurrency=100 %SRC /usr/lib/squid/ext_session_acl -t 7200 -b /var/run/squid/session.db
acl existing_users external splash_page
http_access deny !existing_users
deny_info 511:/usr/share/nginx/html/splash.html existing_users

but i am getting the following error:
