I use Debian myself, but Ubuntu is a Debian derivative so probably follows mostly the same conventions. In that case, you can probably find documentation in /usr/share/doc/varnish. > - Does the package assume port 80 is available (hence does it > conflict with Apache2) ?

See if there's an /etc/default/varnish file. If it is, that'd probably be where you specify the startup options, which would answer all of the above questions. If not, have a look at what the init.d script does. I'm pretty sure it's going to be sourcing most of its configuration from some other location. _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] https://www.varnish-cache.org/lists/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
