Guest obzerver Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Hi, I need help with Squid Proxy Caching Software. I have reviewed the official Squid documents and searched the web extensively for it but couldn't find a simple configuration guide. Here is my problem: 1- I installed FREEBSD release 7 [ Full Installation ] 2- I installed SQUID 3 ./configure make make install 3. added only visible_hostname myhost 4. run the command ./squid -z 5. ./squid start but ./squid -k check gives me: Squid: error: could not send signal 0 to process 15456: (3) no such process my question: what is the minimum configuration i can do to start using squid just ? thanks Moved from Windows to Linux [moved from Terminal Shell Commands, etc by spinynorman - welcome aboard :)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest obzerver Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Thanks for the quick guide. It really helped and it is working. Thankful to chris_z in squid.conf i have added visible_hostname mylinux http_access allow all icp_access allow all cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache/ 100 16 256 Newbies: just make sure to follow these steps 2- I installed SQUID 3 ./configure make make install 3. added only visible_hostname myhost 4. run the command ./squid -z if you get error here then follow these steps sudo chmod -R 777 /squid/var/cache/ Am I right ? 5. ./squid start but ./squid -k check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 obzerver: I've moved your latest posts to this thread, and linked to the other one. Please don't raise the same problem in different topics - it causes confusion. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest obzerver Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I checked the standard documentation, it says to locate ncsa_auth find / -name ncsa_auth gives me nothing. there is nothing in the /usr/local/squid/bin or /usr/local/squid/etc or /usr/local/squid/libexec where can I find the ncsa_auth for freebsd ? and I have squid version 3 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
