ianw1974 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I tend to use the drakwizards. If you install drakwizard, and then go into Configure Your Computer, in the Network Services, there will be Configure a web caching proxy server. I then ran this, it takes you through the options to configure using the drakwizard. You have to install drakwizard first though, before this option becomes available. If that doesn't help, check the /etc/squid/squid.conf file for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr3s Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 i cant find anything about DELAY POOL in the drakwizard.. by the way, my concern right now is bandwidth management in squid and the DELAY POOL feature will be the key. It is said that squid must be compiled during installation with the --enable-delay-pools option. Now, i want to know if squid is already compiled with that option when i installed it using the MCC. is there a way to check it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I've no idea, I would think a lot of the parameters would reside in the squid.conf file for setting such items. I only use the basics. Have you checked here: http://www.squid-cache.org/ Their guides might help for checking if you've not already done so. Or, if you find it's not compiled, you can remove the rpm you've installed, and then compile from scratch. Unless someone else here knows any more about squid.....

tr3s Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 yeah, ive tried setting the parameters in squid.conf but the commands seemed to be ignored during squid start. so i guess DELAY POOL is not yet enabled.. any suggestions aside from reinstalling and compiling from scratch? :) tnx btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 If it's not compiled with the option, you can just remove squid, and compile squid with the parameter you require. This in itself isn't a big task to do. I can't think of anything else personally, but someone might know how squid is compiled for mandrake/mandriva to say whether the option is available or not, or how basic/advanced the compile is for squid.
