The manager name and password fields has always been there. Normally you only need to fill in the manager name with something.
If you protect cachemgr actions with cachemgr_passwd in squid.conf then you need to type the correct password in the password field to perform those actions. If you configure the proxy to use proxy authentication for accessing cache_object:// URLs then a valid usename+password needs to be filled in', and the password must also match cachemgr_password (if set). I think your problem is in the first two fields, hostname + port. These two fields need to be filled in with the address and port where Squid is listening for HTTP request (http_port in squid.conf) Regards Henrik On Friday 21 February 2003 02.28, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi!
