[squid-users] FATAL: Ipc::Mem::Segment::create failed to shm_open(/squid-cf__queues.shm): (17) File exists

[Sekar Duraisamy]

Hello Friends,

I am getting the following message when i start the squid

FATAL: Ipc::Mem::Segment::create failed to shm_open(/squid-cf__queues.shm):
(17) File exists

I am running squid-3.5.20 and even I have tried to remove cache directories
and -z but still giving this error.

So please advice me what is wrong here.

Thanks

Hi,

It seems the squid-cf__queues.shm file already exists in /dev/shm/ and
Squid has not permission to overwrite the file.
