[KLUG Members] Squid is driving me nuts.

[adam]

Arg.
I need some help.  I've reinstalled squid on  a machine I have here.  Ppro,
200 Mhz, 64 MB mem, slackware 8.  Runs like a top.

This is the first time I've installed squid and had it run correctly on this
machine.  I've managed to install squid on another machine, and have it run
from the first try.

However, this machine is being a pain:  It caches in memory, but never to
disk.  I check the config file, it's fine.  Check the log files:a tail -f of
access.log shows it's serving requests, cache.log shows it's starting well,
BUT store.log has something funky:  Here is a line:

(many numbers) RELEASE -1 FFFFFFFFFF (many letters and numbers) 0 -
1 -1 -1 unknown -1/0 GET http://adbot.theonion.com/popup_ad.js

Okay: What is the deal? I haven't found much that helps with parsing the
store.log file.  Permissions are set fine.  As far as I know, it should be
working, but it only caches in memory.  I get TCP_MEM_HIT if I am accessing
pages on different machines in close time proximities, but checking the same
pages the next day gives me nothing but TCP_MISSes.  Does anyone know what
is going on? I'm stumped, and ready to go insane.
