Re: [squid-users] "squid -z" hangs and does not work

sounds good, Eliezer!

I did one:

--- /home/tianyin/source/squid-3.2.5/src/main.cc 2012-12-10
01:53:26.000000000 -0800
+++ ./src/main.cc 2012-12-24 00:13:38.591134863 -0800
@@ -1429,7 +1429,13 @@
         }

         setEffectiveUser();
- debugs(0, 0, "Creating Swap Directories");
+
+ if(Config.cacheSwap.n_configured == 0) {
+ debugs(0, 0, "There is no swap directory configured,
please configure it using cache_dir");
+ } else {
+ debugs(0, 0, "Creating Swap Directories");
+ }
+
         Store::Root().create();

         return 0;

btw, Merry Xmas, Eliezer!

Best,
Tianyin
