[squid-users] Follow up question from Wiki... "how do I configure Squid not to cache a specific server?"

2009-05-06 Thread Andy McCall
Hi Folks,

I need a specific site to completely bypass my squid cache due to a broken 
external webapp.

I have read the section "how do I configure Squid not to cache a specific 
server?" from the wiki, which I can implement with no issues, but what I am not 
sure is what this will actually do :)

Will this allow traffic to pass through squid without caching it, or will this 
block the site for users?

Thanks,

Andy McCall

[squid-users] Squid Cache and Load Balancing...

2007-12-17 Thread Andy McCall
Hi Folks,

I am looking at setting up two Linux-based caching servers for two
WebMarshal servers for around 120 schools.  The WebMarshal servers
perform all the content checking and Squid will do all the caching.

The two WebMarshal servers are using Windows load balancing so I would
like to have a similar configuration for the Squid servers.  I
understand I can share the cache's between the two Squid servers and I
have read around Pen, L7SW, LVS and keepalived but its not clear to me
which bits I need to do what in the setup.

Please can someone give me some pointers as to what I would need to get
load balanced / HA Squid cache servers without buying a dedicated piece
of load balancing hardware.

Thanks in advance for any replies,

Andy McCall

[squid-users] Opinions on Setup...

2008-01-09 Thread Andy McCall
Hi Folks,

A few weeks ago I posted a message on this list about setting up two 
squid-caching-only servers for two WebMarshal content-checking-only servers for 
around 120 school.  I was pointed in the general direction by Amos and I have 
finally come to a configuration that may work and was hoping for some input.

The squid servers will be on the same network, and running RedHat Linux 
Enterprise 5.  I was then going to configure two CARP interfaces on them, e.g. 
192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2.  A single DNS entry for squid-proxy.domain.gov.uk 
will point to 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 and the squid cache's will be set up 
as cache_peer's of each other.

Can anyone think of any issues I will have with this set up, or can anyone 
think of anything else that will help my setup?

Thanks,

[squid-users] CARP and Multicast...

2008-02-26 Thread Andy McCall
Hi Folks,

I posted to this list a few weeks ago, and have had time to get around to 
reading more of the squid manuals

I have two identical Ubuntu Linux 6.06.2 LTS based Squid servers caching for 
two Web Marshal server front ends.  The Web Marshal servers are load balanced 
using Windows Network Load Balancing (NLB) which gives redundancy and load 
balancing for the clients.  I would now like to add some sort of redundancy and 
load balancing between the squid caches and would like to share the cache 
between the two servers.

I think I want to set up my Squid's in a multicast group and then load balance 
between them using CARP.  The two Squid's should be sibling-peers of each other.

For example,

cache_peer 224.9.9.9 multicast 3128 3130 ttl=64

#proxy  icp
#hostnametype  port  port   options
#  - -  ---

cache_peer scache1   sibling   3128  3130  multicast-responder 
carp-load-factor=0.5
cache_peer scache2   sibling   3128  3130  multicast-responder 
carp-load-factor=0.5

Can anyone tell me if I am going in completely the wrong direction, or am I 
close to getting a redundant two-server setup with load balancing and shared 
caches?

[squid-users] Generated by question...

2008-07-09 Thread Andy McCall
Hi Folks,

I finally have a (temporary) Squid caching server up and running and am really 
impressed with it ☺ Thanks to all the developers.

One thing I am trying to find out is if the “Generated by“ footer and the 
horizontal line can be completely removed using a configuration variable.  I 
have altered the httpd_surppress_version_string to on, but I want to get rid of 
the footer completely.

I have seen various posts about altering the code and re-compiling, but these 
posts were circa 2004, I was wondering if I am overlooking a variable I can use 
that has been introduced since then.  I am running Squid 2.6 compiled with the 
following options:

Squid Cache: Version 2.6.STABLE18
configure options:  '--prefix=/usr' '--exec_prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/sbin' 
'--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--libexecdir=/usr/lib/squid' '--sysconfdir=/etc/squid' 
'--localstatedir=/var/spool/squid' '--datadir=/usr/share/squid' 
'--enable-async-io' '--with-pthreads' 
'--enable-storeio=ufs,aufs,coss,diskd,null' '--enable-linux-netfilter' 
'--enable-arp-acl' '--enable-epoll' '--enable-removal-policies=lru,heap' 
'--enable-snmp' '--enable-delay-pools' '--enable-htcp' '--enable-cache-digests' 
'--enable-underscores' '--enable-referer-log' '--enable-useragent-log'

[squid-users] COSS and 1Gb files...

2008-07-11 Thread Andy McCall
Hi Folks,

Can anyone tell me if I am using coss for my cache will the -with-large-option 
allow me to set the max-size to 1048576 (1GB).

I have just realised the max object size was 1GB but coss was only allowing 1MB 
files to be stored in the cache, causing me to only get around 1% disk hit 
ratio.

Thanks,

RE: [squid-users] Squid Error Pages

2008-07-11 Thread Andy McCall
Hi Brie,

I have just gone through a similar scenario myself. So I might be able to help.

> I'm a longtime Squid user and I want to edit the error messages that
> Squid provides. I've located the files (ERR_ACCESS_DENIED,
> ERR_CACHE_ACCESS_DENIED, etc) and modified them but they are not
> displayed as I thought. For example, Squid appends a line about itself

You can get rid of the "Generated by.." signature by including the %s variable 
in your error page.  As soon as you include the %s somewhere the page, 
"Generated by..." line no longer appears.

This means that your error pages *must* include the word "squid" somewhere.  If 
you want to hide it you can either alter the code and re-compile, or you could 
always change the colour of the text to match the background, for example:

%s

On a white background will allow you to hide the signature. You will still see 
"squid" if you look at the HTML source using your browser, but it's a quick fix 
if your not up to editing code.

I believe that the FTP and Gopher signatures have to be removed by altering 
source and the above trick won't work.

> and the cache manager and does not display some images even though the
> HTML is correct.

Like Henrik said, the images have to be served from a web server.

> What is going on? I have Apache on the machine but I don't think that

I am taking a guess that you have installed Apache, but put the images in the 
same folder as your error pages.  That won't work. Put the images in your 
Apache root/htdocs/www folder. For example if you have a server called 
squid1.mydomain.com, and your htdocs folder is /var/www.  Created a folder 
called images in there, and place all your images in /var/www/images.

You should be able to see the images by visiting 
http://squid1.mydomain.com/images/yourimage.jpg in a browser.

This is the same URL you would include in your ERR_ pages too.

Finally, if you change the location of the error pages using the 
error_directory variable, don't forget to tell squid to pick up the change 
using squid -k reconfigure.

Hope some of this information helps.

[squid-users] FW: COSS and 1Gb files...

Sorry to re-post, the lack of replies means I am asking something that people

If I should be asking somewhere else please let me know.

I basically want to use a 40GB COSS file store, but with an maximum_object_size

Excellent.  In that case the set up I put in place until I worked out
how to get coss working is probably what I want anyway.

One thing I wasn't sure on - Am I supposed to format my cache partition as 
aufs/ufs and specify aufs/ufs in squid.conf, or do I format it as ext2/ext3 and 
specify aufs/ufs in squid.conf?

At the moment, I have a /cache as an ext2 file system and cache_dir ufs 4 
16 256 in my squid.conf, which I think this is right.

If that is right, what is the view on ext2 vs ext3 as the file system?

Is the choice between slower access times, but quick recovery times using ext3, 
or quicker access times but slower recover times using ext2?

[squid-users] SSL Site Problem...

Hi Folks,

I have a problem accessing an SSL site through my Squid setup, IE just spins 
its blue circle forever, and doesn't seem to ever actually time out.  The same 
site works when going direct.  I have tried multiple browsers to eliminate the 
browser as the issue.

Any help is appreciated, as I am really stuck now...

The site is:

https://secure.crtsolutions.co.uk

I am using:

RE: [squid-users] SSL Site Problem...

2008-11-06 Thread Andy McCall
Thanks Henrik,

I have made this change a test environment and it is indeed the cause of my 
problem.  I plan to make the change live later today.

Thank you for a quick reply.

Most likely a window scaling issue. There is still very many broken
firewalls out there..

I am using the Websense plugin with 2.6.STABLE18 on Ubuntu with no issues.

If you have difficulties and can't get answers on the mailing list, 
http://www.siriusit.co.uk/ will be able to help. I contracted them to install 
and train me on Squid and the installation of Websense and they were excellent.

Thanks,

Also, wouldn't it be of some use caching high-use high-media sites in off-peak 
hours (00:00-04:30 in my case) so any new images are already cached for the 
morning?  On the link I use we have almost no activity between 6PM and 8AM, but 
between 8AM-6PM its heavily in use, when I started reading this thread I 
thought pre-caching sites at around 4AM, like the BBC, Sky News etc. would be 
of some use. Yes, I know these sites get updated regularly during the day, but 
at least some of the new content would be already in the cache.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Andy.
