If you start from scratch and don't migrate any config files, hidden
directories in /home/* etc., then it might - unless you repeat your
mistake, of course.

Far easier to install a box from scratch then swap the IP addresses :)

Well, my config file has passed the check by the Squid people, so it's 
certainly not that...

Well, wget works. So it's not *strictly* a network issue.

Yet there might be light at the end of the tunnel... A guy in the Netfilter 
mailing list had indirectly given me a probable solution; he's been having 
trouble accessing www.apple.com through the proxy (and actually, www.apple.com 
is also one of the sites I can't access via my proxy box). He managed to make 
his proxy work by adding a rule to iptables to allow incoming access to port 
80. Despite having no web server listening at that port.

Doesn't really make sense, I know: why the heck does a target web server need 
access to *my* port 80, but it worked after all.

So, come Monday, I'm going to change the policy for incoming port 80 from DROP 
to REJECT or ACCEPT, and we'll see if there's going to be joy in mudville :)

Well it's neither specified nor disabled, so I just put in the
keywords in make.conf, hoping it will be the 'magic spell incantation'
needed to solve my problem.

But apparently not *sigh*

 So, what can I do?
 
 Rgds,
 
 

Well, apache itself with mod_proxy works reasonably well but it doesn't
support https and ftp, as far as I remember. Make sure to change the
default config. I'll attach my config
(/etc/apache2/modules.d/50_mod_proxy.conf).

IfModule mod_proxy.c
  ProxyRequests On

# Allow access from the local net only
  Proxy *
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.
Allow from 127.
  /Proxy

# Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 Via: headers.
# (Full adds the server version;
#  Block removes all outgoing Via: headers)
# Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block
  ProxyVia On

# Enable the cache as well
# (no caching without CacheRoot)
  IfModule mod_cache.c
IfModule mod_disk_cache.c
  CacheRoot /var/cache/apache2/proxy
  CacheEnable disk /

  # Using many CacheDirLevels makes cache cleanup very slow
  CacheDirLevels 1
  # Using long names can lead to too many files per directory for FS
  CacheDirLength 2
/IfModule
  /IfModule
/IfModule

There is no size limit for apache's cache. For this, you have to execute
htcacheclean as a cron job.

Hope this helps,
Florian Philipp
