Hello to everyone, I am having difficulty getting Squid to run at work where I need to set up a proxy cache server that connects to another proxy cache server already running squid.
When I run squidclient to see if Squid is correctly configured I get the ever present: Client: ERROR: Cannot connect to localhost:3128: Connection refused I've been hacking around at the squid.conf and it has changed dramatically from the configuration file i have started with, and is becoming less understandable to me. I want to show you the squid.conf file but first i need to explain a few details about the IP addresses. 172.28.18.22 is the static IP address assigned to the proxy cache server running squid which is not yet functional. 172.28.30.87 is the IP address of the gateway through which all traffic leaving the internal network to the internet must go through. Hence it is the upstream proxy cache I want as a cache peer - an upstream proxy cache. This is the squid.conf file: cache_mgr [EMAIL PROTECTED] http_port 172.28.18.22:3128 http_port 127.0.0.1:3128 icp_port 0 htcp_port 0 cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 100 16 256 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 cache_peer 172.28.30.87 parent 80 0 default no-query cache_peer 172.28.30.87 parent 3128 3130 default no-query acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl local_net src 172.28.0.0/255.255.0.0 acl SSL_ports port 443 563 acl Safe_ports port 80 21 443 563 70 210 1025-65535 acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access allow manager localhost # http_access deny manager http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow localhost http_access allow local_net # http_access deny all icp_access allow all miss_access allow all If anyone can help me I would be greatly appreciative. The team and I need the squid log files to monitor the performance of distributed proxy caches by returning counter datum. All the best, Phillip Lucs
