[squid-users] Patch Installation Procedure and Weirdness Afterwards

Thanks Robert for the response.

After ./configure and make, I checked the new binary in the src directory,
it had the correct configure options (--enable-snmp and
--enable-storeio=ufs,aufs,diskd) and I made a note of it's md5sum. After I
ran the make install, the new binary was installed in /usr/local/squid/sbin
but the old binary remained in /usr/local/squid/bin. I was concerned since
RunCache executes the binary in PREFIX/bin, so I copied the one in
PREFIX/sbin to ../bin. Is this a mistake?

Other weirdness that is occurring is that in addition to firing up 32
redirector children (wrapzap - adzapper), squid appears to be firing up 34
'squid' processes. This is according to 'top' and 'ps' (showing squid -NsY)
34 times. Is RunCache getting caught in a loop? Is there a startup log
other than cache.log? Cache.log shows the familiar:

helperOpenServers: Starting 32 'wrapzap' processes

and nothing unusual.

Any direction or suggestion for this situation are most welcome.

Thanks for your consideration.

Grant

You haven't installed it into the same place then. To check a patch has
been applied, read the patch and check the relevant parts of the source
code.

Cheers,
