I am not an expert, and just today tried to install squid. My best bet for documentation is, the oficial website http://www.squid-cache.org.
So, I just grabbed the latest stable release 2.5STABLE1 and printed the FAQ : http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-3.html I found some information there which were NOT up to date. Like: " Squid version 2.X First, you must create the swap directories. Do this by running Squid with the -z option: % /usr/local/squid/bin/squid -z " Actually it's not that simple, because the directory should be owned by the user who run squid, from the DEFAULT squid.conf, it should be nobody:nobody. And, the squid binary is NOT there, it's in /usr/local/squid/sbin/ ^^^^^ How can I trust the FAQ ? Or anyone sugested not to read it? instead throwing questions here? :D Well, maybe this is NOT a big deal, you can say "linux system (or squid) is NOT for newbies". But anyway, maybe the maintainers do not have enough time to update? I am not complaining, but take this as information, just to make linux software better :) Regards, me __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
