Hi,
I'm trying to get traffic server up and running for some testing. I
have a few questions:
1. Is traffic_manager supposed to work? There doesn't appear to be
any real way to know which script should start the whole collection
of programs. Maybe I'm just missing it.
No, right now, I filed a Jira ticket for it earlier today.
2. Is the web management interface supposed to be working? It
segfaults after I try to authenticate. The management pages weren't
installed properly out of the html2 directory to the installation
prefix.
Not yet :) Feel free to file a Jira ticket.
3. What is the format of proxy.config.admin.admin_password, i.e. how
can I create a new value?
You can change it from inside the GUI, the default should be "admin/
admin" I'm pretty sure. But, there's obviously a chicken and egg
situation here, since traffic_manager / GUI doesn't work.
4. What are the proper debug flags for traffic_manager to basically
print everything.
You want to play with the traffic_server binary. There is an help page
for it if you run it with --help. The "best" option for debugging /
testing is -T. E.g. to show all tracer messages related to http, you
can run it with
/usr/local/bin/traffic_server -T http.*
(the argument is a regex).
5. Where is the cli socket being created for traffic_line? How can
I test that this is working? Is -r supposed to print all values?
From traffic_manager, but, it obviously won't work (because of the
above).
6. What's a good way to test the cache rather then running some
requests through it? Does traffic server print anything to the logs
saying its ready to serve requests like apache does?
Yeah, there should be messages in /var/log/messages I'm pretty sure,
and several logs in /usr/local/var/log/trafficserver, but looking at
my test box, I'm not seeing the logs I'd expect.
It's a bit rough right now, but please have patience with us, and help
us find the problems and file tickets, and we'll make fixes as soon as
we humanly can.
Cheers!
