Hi Guys,


I am using squid 2.6 stable on RHEL5 its working fine. But I did restart then there is some problem that is it is unable to start. It shows the error as :

Starting squid: /etc/init.d/squid: line 69: /var/log/squid/squid.out: Read-only file system [FAILED]

When I restarted the system then its started there is no problem. But it occur again when I restart.

I checked /etc/init.d/squid file but I didn't get identify. So how can I start it.

Hello,

Can you post the contents of your squid file, using code tags? Also, can you post the output of the following command? Thanks!
Cheers,

Josh

Above are the details.

Please post the output of /var/log/squid/squid.out. Also, when you get the "Read-only file system" error, are you able to use other simple commands? Eg:

I believe your squid configuration file is incomplete

If you continue to find the same error then I would advise you to upgrade your version of squid

http://people.redhat.com/jskala/squi....8-1.el5/i386/

Here you can get one.

Or try reinstalling the same squid through yum

Hi,

After stopping squid, just delete the squid spool directory "rm -rf /var/spool/squid/" and start the squid instance and see if that works.

Thanks & Regards,

When you are having Read-Only file system, Then you have to reboot the system with File System Check "FSCK".

Read-Only will not make any file in the effected partition be writable, Just readable, So it can't save configuration or write any logs.
