squid cache issue !!
 

I installed squid from source. (.tar.gz) it's installed nicly.

also,it started without any error. [checked in /var/log/messages]

under squid.conf file i have steup all the needed option for proxy settings.

cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 2048 32 512

cache_access_log /usr/local/squid/var/logs/access.log

cache_log /usr/local/squid/var/logs/cache.log

cache_store_log /usr/local/squid/var/logs/store.log

Also, create cache directory. As under...

[root@domain cache]# pwd
/usr/local/squid/var/cache
[root@domain cache]#
[root@domain cache]#
[root@domain cache]# ls
00 02 04 06 08 0A 0C 0E 10 12 14 16 18 1A 1C 1E
01 03 05 07 09 0B 0D 0F 11 13 15 17 19 1B 1D 1F
[root@domain cache]#


[root@domain logs]# ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 9 23:58 access.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 9 23:58 cache.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 9 23:58 store.log
[root@domain logs]#

But, it's not storing cache, access or store under log files.

service syslogd restart

regards

I want to setup my RHEL 3 box as proxy server. so i can give net access to my other window$ client on LAN. that's why i use squid.


I did this using redhat-config-services utilities, still no luck.

any other idea?

Thanx for help.

if u want to share ur internet connection then go for ip forwarding
that is better than squid
squid is usefull for large organization

i have used both and i found squid not usefull for my home network of 4 Pcs
i now use ip forwading and it is fine

regards

yes, i know that and i am learing how to setup proxy. i m trying to setup for my one linux box and wants to test whether i m getting fast pages or not.

As i told in my post it was wokring fine previosuly with both option 1) squid 2) ipforwarding/ masquerading.

BUT, that time i had use defaulst squid, [which install by defaults]

this time i uninstall default squid and complie squid through source (.tar.gz) and it's not working.

any specific reason for not using that rpm packages???

also regarding ur log files going empty

maybe u would like to check out the permisions for these directories an files

although u r root but squid might be writing to these files as user squid i think the same way apache does it

regards

I want to install and compile squid with source package. also, it has different file location if you install using source. [tar.gz]

Also, i know RPM base is easy to install. I have checked that permission. I don't think so it will cause the issue. bec'z at compile time it will set the permision for root and i using as root user. so NO issue with permission.

as far as i know if you install any package by RPM or source any package [inculde squid] will work as root user. so there is no point to think about as user or as root. I haven't try with non root user.

yes,if you configure services in such way then u have to check for it. like apache, but here issue with squid.

any way, any other idea ?

Thanx for an idea..

What does your squid.conf look like?

Does '/usr/sbin/squid -z' help?

Are you sure your HTTP request is via Squid?
Config you browser and make it access Internet via your proxy server directly, and then see squid log.

Thanx for helping me.....

yes, HTTP request is via Squid. i have also set internet via proxy server also but still not working. any other idea?
