[squid-users] Compress/Zipped Web pages?

2009-06-30 Thread Wilson Hernandez - MSD, S. A.

Hello.

I heard a friend of mine talking about how he compresses the requested 
web pages and serves it to users (compressed) with MS ISA Server. Can 
that be done with Squid? if is true.


[squid-users] Help me save bandwidth

2009-04-27 Thread Wilson Hernandez - MSD, S. A.

Hello everybody.

I am somewhat confused on how squid helps to save bandwidth. I know it
saves visited websites to cache and when someone else request the same
site it will serve it from the cache. Please correct me if that is wrong.

Now, I've been checking my traffic before (external nic) and after
(inside network) squid. Eveerytime I request a page (google.com) the
request is sent to the internet as well so, in this case there isn't
much saving done. But, if I have offline_mode on I get the old page
stored locally. It seems that if I have offline_mode enabled is when
bandwidth is been saved.

Please correct me and help me understand on how squid can really help
maintain and save bandwidth on my network.

Thanks in advanced for your help.




Re: [squid-users] Long running squid proxy slows way down

2009-04-27 Thread Wilson Hernandez - MSD, S. A.



I have a similar setup, squid was slow and crashing when it had a long 
time running, crashing every three to six days. I never found out why it 
crashed. I looked in the log files and couldn't find anything. It just 
crashed for no reason. There are some post to the least about it. I 
decided to restart the system everyday from a cron job at 4am. I know 
that doesn't sound too stable as I'm running it on a linux box but, it 
worked. It hasn't crash ever since.

Everytime I test with squid running I don't get a correct speed I'm 
supposed to obtain but, when I disable squid and run a test, I get the 
correct speed on both computers: 194 - 200 max for 192.168.1.100 and 96 
- 99 for 192.168.2.101. When I run the test with squid running I get 
different speeds on both machines ranging from 50 to 300.


I know it sounds strange but, I've ran the tests too many times now and 
I get the same results.


I'm using squid 3.0 STABLE 11.

Thanks.

192.168.100.0/24 is my LAN RANGE.

According to the above script, My FULL bandwidth was 256 kbit. I
allocated 64 kbit for downloading. it is actually NOTHING to do with

I am also seeking a TC expert to help several users already needing to use
it with TPROXYv4 and/or WCCP setups.


I am NOT a tc expert. just a guy with an interest.

[squid-users] How to cache all traffic?

2009-03-21 Thread Wilson Hernandez - MSD, S. A.

Hello.

I would like to know which is a safe mode to have a squid server cache 
everyhing (http, mp3s, mpegs, jpgs, gifs, and so on). Since most my 
users visit the same pages I would like to have a big cache and when I 
need to do some network maintenance I could unplug the internet cable 
and see if some user can still receive some web content from the squid 
server. I don't know if that can be done but, that's just a thought.


I would like to cache everything though to at least save bandwith.

Thanks for your help.

I rebuilt squid:

'--with-default-user=proxy' '--with-large-files'


I added disable internal dns and squid has being working fine. Its being 
working for about 2 days without a crash where the previous built only 
worked for a couple of hours and then crash.


Is it ok to run it like this even though is performing better than it was?

Okay those look normal enough.

for further tracking try running Squid with flags  -D -d 5 and see if 
you can grab what it produces on stderr during the system reboot.


 -D should stop it running DNS tests too early.
 -d 5 produces the debug before config has finished loading.

- ufs is an old store system, aufs will probably give you better
performance.
- How is the inode usage on the disk?
- The disksize is irrelevant, the partition size of the partition where
/var/log/squid resides is relevant. If that partition is only 10G, then
this cache won't work.

Your cache_dir line says create a squid cache directory structure 255 wide by 
255 deep and allow it to grow up to 60G. Squid will continue to try and store 
objects into the directory structure until either 60G limit is reached or the 
filesystem - more like as not /var - runs out of space.
If it runs out of space squid is no longer able to write to its log files you 
configured in your squid.conf file. If it cannot write to the log file it 
cannot tell you want happened!


Do you want a nice simple solution?
Add a second hard drive and have squid create its 60G sized cache there.
Make certain logrotate is rotating the normal system logs  and asking squid to 
rotate its logs!


Use df and see just how fuch free space is really available in /var if it is a 
filesystem in its own right.


Another thought?
How many users are trying to access the 'net via this proxy that you want to 
store 60G in a 256 by 256 structure? Last time I looked through the docs and 
faq's there was a good write up on sizing the cache - both hard and soft.


Cheers

So its probably not the cache dir filling up then.
It will be something else causing the system to use more than 20 GB for 
other stuff.


Logs or journaling maybe? Are they all rotating regularly?



I don't think so. But, I'll keep that in mind.

One other thing. As of late, the cache has stopped working without

trying to understand what is squid actually doing and if is working
correctly. I don't understand what all the stuff in the access.log file
are. I check the log everyday. I see something different every time I
check. Below is the latest on access.log and I don't understand why the
cache now is DIRTY, what is assertion failed, 1 swapin MD5 mismatches,
WARNING: newer swaplog entry for dirno 0, fileno 013B, and all those
weird characters at the end of the log:
008.LMP%C2%BB%C2%A6%C2%AB_A.zip?Cache'
Ì«* 2008 14:02:37 GMT}ARNING: suspicious CR characters in HTTP header
{Date: Tue, 16 ð@

Please help me understand what's going on. 


Well for starters. The access.log does not contain that kind of info. 
That stuff should be in the cache.log with the rest of the debug and 
administration information.


The FAQ has a good detailed explanation of what the logs do and contain...

Thanks in advanced.

Re: [squid-users] More access.log questions

2008-12-17 Thread Wilson Hernandez - MSD, S. A.

Amos.

Yes, I meant cache.log NOT access.log sorry for the confusion.

I will remove extension_methods from squid.conf

I won't be able to stop transparent interception because I don't want to 
 go to every clients' sites to change their configurations.


Will this keep the cache CLEAN?

Hope it works.

Amos Jeffries wrote:

Amos.

Thanks for replying. After reviewing this access.log file section, is
sqid working correctly or are there any adjustments I need to make to
make run more smoothly?


Did you even read that page on the logs? access.log has nothing to do with
what you are talking about. If your squid.conf names them wrongly please
correct that. Using the correct names for logs is important for
communication.

Your squid is dying regularly on some very fatal errors.
You can do one of two things to fix it:
  The previous behavior of blocking 'NICK' requests. (remove
extension_methods again)
 Or stop doing transparent interception of traffic.

Re: [squid-users] Squid3 just Died

2008-12-10 Thread Wilson Hernandez - MSD, S. A.

Amos,

I checked all the squid3 directories:
squid3: /usr/sbin/squid3 /etc/squid3 /usr/lib/squid3 /usr/share/squid3

and didn't find any core.* files. I even did a

/etc/squid3# whereis core
core: /usr/share/man/man5/core.5.gz

and it didn't find anything significant.

I installed squid3 on debian with apt-get install squid3. Looks like 
debian doesn't have a current version of squid3 other than PRE5. I will 
download it from the website and install it from source.


I don't think the logging drive was running out of space because Is a 
pretty big drive and partition. What can other thing make squid act like 
this?

I did:

Then,
restarted squid (/etc/init.d/squid3 start) and it was doing the same: 
It started and it just died without giving any errors.


I then decided to also delete, actually rename, access.log and
store.log files. This time when I restarted, it worked. I had to do it 
that way because that was the only solution I found. I there is 
another way to restore all the previous objects please let me know.


One more thing, What could have caused that problem? Will this happen 
again in a couple of months?


Hmm, if it was the logging drive running out of space yes it might 
happen again. Check for core.* files in the squid home directory.

Re: [squid-users] Squid3 just Died

2008-12-09 Thread Wilson Hernandez - MSD, S. A.

Pieter,

I had to delete my cache. I didn't get any answers from the list and I 
had a lot of people calling.


I did:
rm -r /squid/cache/*

it took over 30 minutes.
Then,
restarted squid (/etc/init.d/squid3 start) and it was doing the same: It 
started and it just died without giving any errors.


I then decided to also delete, actually rename, access.log and store.log 
files. This time when I restarted, it worked. I had to do it that way 
because that was the only solution I found. I there is another way to 
restore all the previous objects please let me know.


One more thing, What could have caused that problem? Will this happen 
again in a couple of months?


Thanks

I ran tail -f /var/log/squid/cache.log and noticed that squid tries to 
rebuild the cache, it stops and restarts again:


Store rebuilding is 10.1% complete

I don't want to delete my cache. That's the only solutions I've found on 
the internet:


1) Shutdown your squid server
squid -k shutdown

2) Remove the cache directory
rm -r /squid/cache/*

3) Re-Create the squid cache directory
squid -z

4) Start the squid

My cache is pretty big and it would take a while to delete all the stuff 
in there. Also, I will loose all that data from months of objects...

Hi,

Might be totally off here, but I noted your swap size is large. Could

it

be that the cache has more objects (in count and in byte count ?) than

can

fit into a 32-bit counter ?

I got to this by seeing that it crashes at the cache rebuild section as
well as the fact the the build is i486.

Like I said, might be *way* off but hey :)

Cheers,

[squid-users] Disk space over limit Warning

2008-11-27 Thread Wilson Hernandez - MSD, S. A.

Hello;

I currently have a network with about 30 users and my swap space tends 
to fill up quite quickly. I increased the swap three weeks ago from:


#cache_dir ufs /var/log/squid/cache 5000 16 256 to
cache_dir ufs /var/log/squid/cache 1 255 255

Now, I'm getting the same warning:

2008/11/27 13:59:00| WARNING: Disk space over limit: 10241036 KB  
1024 KB


If I leave it as is will I have problems in the future or should I 
change it to what? What is a safe size for this?


Thank you in advanced for all your help.

Yes. I did run squid -z and it created all the directories.

Hi Wilson,

Did you run squid -z after changing your settings?  For themto take 
effect, I believe you need to run squid -a again.

[squid-users] Re: [NoCat] Non-Authenticating Splash Page

2008-11-26 Thread Wilson Hernandez - MSD, S. A.

Colin,

I tried to add some php code but it doesn't get embedded, I guess is 
because the gateway is run with perl. I don't know perl, it would be 
easier to use perl instead of php in this case. How can I embed php code 
on the splash page to build a dynamic page?


Thanks again.

[squid-users] Where are the objects?

2008-11-22 Thread Wilson Hernandez - MSD, S. A.


I have a question regarding the storage of objects: Where is really 
saved to on disk? Is it in /var/log/squid3/access.log or in: 
/var/log/squid3/store.log?


I've noticed that in the /var/log/squid3/cache swaplog there isn't any 
entries as stated below. How exactly are objects saved?
