Hello,
I have three versions of squid running on the same machine, two in production and one for development. The best way that I found was to have three entirely separate compiles for each version where I actually change the names of the squid executables, config files, directory structures, pids, ports, etc. Then I fire them off independently with separate init.d scripts (I work under linux).
BTW, I call different redirectors with each 'version' of squid.
I guess it depends on circumstances. I originally thought of using seperate installs of Squid for each task, but we're working on a commercial product and really want to avoid the need to manage two packages for Squid instead of one.
The problem has been narrowed down to the second init.d script to start the second squid instance, as I can manually start each squid from the relevant conf file without error.
Thanks for the reply,
Regards,
nry
