Re: [squid-users] re-creating configure
I patched squid-2.5.STABLE10 with icap-2.5.patch. How do I re-create configure as patch modified configure.in? Look here: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ.html#toc2.6 Hi, I can't find any instructions on this URL how to re-create configure after configure.in was patched. And tell where did you get that patch? I can't find it here: http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.5/bugs/#STABLE10 The ICAP patch is on http://devel.squid-cache.org/icap/ and the patch URL is http://devel.squid-cache.org/cgi-bin/diff2/icap-2.5.patch?s2_5

[squid-users] mem_node
Hi, what is meant by mem_node on cachemgr.cgi / Memory Utilization? Regards
[squid-users] Memory usage and mem_node size
Hi, I have a Squid 2.5STABLE5 running on Linux (RHL 8.0, 1.5 GB RAM) using 28 GB disk space and serving 5,000 users. It has been in use for more a year now. In the last few days, the squid process has grown drastically in size. Usally, squid has around 400 MB in memory. At some point, it starts allocating more and more RAM. I've seen it using 1.2 GB RAM and aggressive paging. The proxy has 1.8 million objects on disk and 150 MB for the metadata should be enough. In cachemgr.cgi / Memory Utilization I can see mem_node growing bigger and bigger when process size increases. What's mem_node's purpose? I've seen mem_node allocating 800 MB when the squid process had 1.2 GB. Config: cache_mem 100 MB maximum_object_size 250 MB cache_dir diskd /var/spool/squid-standard 28000 16 256 At first, I tried to limit memory pooling: memory_pools_limit 64 MB - no difference The I tried to switch off pooling: memory_pools off - no difference I've seen segmentation violations in cache.log: FATAL: Received Segment Violation...dying. 2004/07/07 10:15:14| storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting... 2004/07/07 10:15:31| Starting Squid Cache version 2.5.STABLE5 for i686-pc-linux-gnu... 2004/07/07 10:15:31| Process ID 17870 2004/07/07 10:15:31| With 8192 file descriptors available FATAL: Received Segment Violation...dying. 2004/07/07 10:54:46| storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting... 2004/07/07 10:54:46| WARNING: Closing open FD 30 2004/07/07 10:54:46| 65536 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:46|131072 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:46|196608 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:46|262144 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:47|327680 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:47|393216 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:48|458752 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:48|524288 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:48|589824 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:48|655360 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:48|720896 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:49|786432 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:49|851968 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:49|917504 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:49|983040 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:49| 1048576 entries written so far. 2004/07/07 10:54:53| Starting Squid Cache version 2.5.STABLE5 for i686-pc-linux-gnu...

[squid-users] request and byte hit ratio
Hi, how do I calculate the request hit ratio and the byte hit ratio? http rhr = client_http.hits/client_http.requests? http bhr = 1 - server.http.kbytes_in/client_http.kbytes_out ? Regards, Bernie
[squid-users] 2 GB file size limit
Hi, Squid 2.5STABLE1 on RedHat Linux 8.0 + SGI XFS 1.2 just crashed because access.log grew to 2 GB size. How can I build squid to handle file sizes 2 GB properly? Regards, Bernie
RE: [squid-users] 2 GB file size limit
You can't because you probably hit a restriction of your Filesystem , not squid. Hi, the filesystem (XFS) does support file sizes 2 GB. Regards, Bernie
Re: [squid-users] 2 GB file size limit
What's the exact message in cache.log ? There is no message in cache.log. When started with -X -N, squid prints File size limit exceeded at the end.
Re: [squid-users] 2 GB file size limit
Why do you want 2Gbyte log files? Surely you should either be rotating your log files, or else they contain information which nobody is ever going to be bothered to look through? I know it's not an answer to your question, but I've never understood the purpose of keeping such enormous quantities of logging information? [...] This logfile with 2 GB size has been written for four days. Logrotation was not configured properly. If your squid is just a little more busy, hitting 2 GB after just one day is no problem.

[squid-users] filtering java applets
Hi, I'd like to use Squid for filtering java applets. Any idea how to realise it? Yes, Squid is a proxy cache, not a police man, but maybe someone knows an add-on or an http proxy specialized for java applet filtering could be contacted upwards. Regards Bernie
Re: [squid-users] My ignorance or Squid lack this?
Well, my feeling is you should talk to your user and explain him why sucking at 2 Mb/s is bad would help much more than relying on technical solutions.
[squid-users] Re: Squid stops when log fills up (was: Nessus vulnerability scancrashes squid)
The problem was the 2G filesize limit. The cache.log was filling up and causing Squid to stop responding or even die entirely. The logrotate Hi, the problem is: Squid stops working when it can't write logs. This has bitten me too. Maximum filesize reached or filesystem full is just the same for Squid. Regards Bernie
[squid-users] load balancing HTTP servers using Squid
Hi, I'm searching for a software load balancer for HTTP servers. Scenario: We have two web servers in Germany and two in the USA for german content. For US/english content there are two web servers in the USA and two in Germany. The setup is similar, so I'll concentrate to a single case. Dream: Requests should get dynamically balanced to the two german web servers. If one fails, the second gets each and every request. If both fail, users will be served by the US servers using HTTP redirects or reverse proxying. Internet | | german load balancer --- US load balancer | | | | firewall firewall /\ /\ / \ / \ www1 www2 www3 www4 (The load balancer never fail ;-)) Steps to a solution: http://devel.squid-cache.org/rproxy/ seems to be a good starting point. What it's state? Can Squid-2.5-STABLE2 be used for this setup? Is Squid-3.0-DEV geared towards these requirements? http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-dev/200010/0321.html has a nice patch for 2.3-STABLE4, but how far has development gone? Regards Bernie
