[squid-users] Replacement/Removal Policy Type

2005-09-01 Thread trainier
If I want to use the heap LFUDA replacement/removal policy, what needs to go into the list of modules section of the --enable-removal-policies= parameter for configuring/compiling? I went into src/repl to look for policy names. Tried a few names by guessing and am unable to come up with

Once I got the configure option sorted, I added the following line to squid.conf: cache_replacement_policy heap LFUDA Is this correct? If so, I'm missing something because squid contiually page faults and bogs the machine down. (average of 100 processes waiting on the CPU). What gives? Tim

This is the third crash. No core files. 1.) Is there some specific explanation for why there isn't a core file? 2.) The cache/store logs give absolutely nothing that explains these fatal errors at all. Is there something else I could look at? Maybe attach an strace session to the running

Yes: -FDon't serve any requests until store is rebuilt. My guess is that squid is trying to rebuild the store, but is too busy servicing requests. If that doesn't work, you can manually clear the cache, the store file and have squid rebuild the cache hierarchy (squid -z). Tim Rainier

Squid's cache limit is set to 4GB. When the cache fills up and squid attempts to rebuild, it dies and reloads itself continually, failing to rebuild the cache. My squid.conf is below: squid.conf --- cache_effective_user nobody log_fqdn on http_port 8000

First, and foremost, you'll need to use the --enable-ipf-transparent config option when you run the configure. Second, you'll want to search the Squid FAQ. There are some useful tips out there about how to set that up. Tim Rainier Rodrigo Gesswein [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/04/2005 02:00 PM

My understanding is that CONNECT was originally designed to allow a proxy to dynamically switch to being a tunnel. ie: ssl. The problem is, application vendors are mis-using the CONNECT method because it's easy. These particular vendors and their products are rendered as tainted because

Angela is correct. If you set client_netmask to 255.255.255.255 it will block ip addresses from being logged. That is the whole point in client_netmask. Here's the tag, from the documentation: # TAG: client_netmask # A netmask for client addresses in logfiles and cachemgr output. # Change
