When trying to stop squid3 that is running off a docker image jpetazzo/squid-in-a-can, I am unable to stop squid!

root@myserver:/# service squid3 stop
[FAIL] Stopping Squid HTTP Proxy 3.x: squid3[....]  Waiting.......................................................................... failed.
failed!

Same thing happens when doing service squid3 restart. 

[FAIL] Restarting Squid HTTP Proxy 3.x: squid3[....]  Waiting...........................................................................failed.
. ok

Why is this happening?

Updates

squid.conf Default bloated config file is used.

cache.log Nothing seems to be added here on failed service squid3 restart

Could be a couple of things:

  1. (extremely) Big cache
  2. Slow Hardware (Disk)
  3. Permission-Problem

A few questions:

  1. What are your cache-paremters in squid.conf
  2. Is there enough RAM? What about swap to disk?

  • From a fresh docker container of jpetazzo/squid-in-a-can, theres 9.6M free Mem and 4.0G free Swap. The default squid.conf is used. Server has no cache (brand new docker container) and server uses SSD disks so it should be sufficiently fast. I'm running service stop squid3 as root, does this mean permission problems can be ruled out?

  • Unfortuneately i have no expirience with docker. But i use squid for a long time in various configs. Can you post the output of cache.log at shutdown and the squid.conf?

  • Updated the original question with cache.log (no new lines added on failed restart/shutdown) and the squid.conf is the default one.
