Hi,
We setup a Squid proxy-server, but it does not seem to use the cache.
We installed RedHat 6.1+Squid2.2STABLE4 with a separate partition
for squid's cache and gave it the proper permissions (also changed
the cache_dir to point to it). The only other
modification we did to squid.conf was add a line(acl) to accept
connections from all. Then did a "squid -z" and started up squid
through "/etc/rc.d/init.d/squid start". On accessing the same page
more than once, we get a "TCP_MISS" in our access.log. Each time the
site is accessed "DIRECT". There is no change in the cache-directory
size.
We then tried copying squid.conf.default to squid.conf,
remaking new cache-directories and restarting squid and
trying a connect from localhost... TCP_MISSes again.
The system has 2 ethernet cards.
The hostname was initially "localhost". We tried changing it to the
hostname of the external interface. No use!
The crazy thing is that the same configs work OK for system
without any ethernet cards but also running Apache, and Lynx having
proxy setup to Squid on the same system, ie., Squid+Apache on one
system and Lynx on that system accessing the Apache through Squid.
We have "named" running and /etc/resolv.conf configured.
Help!!
