Hi Amos,
Thanks for your reply
My question I should probably put it another way
let's say my website is http://www.example.com right?
in the defaultsite= directive do I need to put just the domain name i.e
example.com that should match the exact domain name that is requested by
the client or something else?
It doesn't matter.
Whichever domain _you_ want the client to most visit.
You could even put defaultsite=abetterbrowser.org
And the http_port should match the http_port that the backend web-server
is listening on, correct?
Yes. Port 80 is the standard.
It's recommended to _also_ have Squid listening on any strange ports the
backend use so that breakage in the backend server apps URLs does not
cause too much damage.
As for the
cache_peer, does the cache peer also refers to the backend "web-server"?
If you don't mind being a little a bit more specific please.
cache_peer ONLY refers to the back end server connection.
http_port ONLY refers to client-facing connections.

Hi All,
I have a question I just want to make sure that I understand this
configuration.
Assuming I am configuring just one backend webservers and one website:
From this link:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Reverse/BasicAccelerator
Does this mean
http_port 80 accel defaultsite=your.main.website.namehttp_port 80 (port
of the back-end webserver)?Defaultsite= (should it be like this)
defaultsite=www.mydomain.org or defaultsite=mydomain.org or
defaultsite=the_name_of_the_folder_where_the_website_is_located?My next
It's just the domain name visitors will use to get the website.
It's only used to 'fix' broken client who fail to send a domain name in
their requests.
Which domain to use is up to you.
question is for thiscache_peer ip.of.webserver parent 80 0 no-query
originserver name=myAccelOk this is what I understoodExample:cache_peer
192.168.1.3 parent 80 0 no-query originserver name=myAccelbut what
value will "myAccel" be holding for instance, the name of my website?
or it's IP address what is it exactly?
It's a label. Only used in the squid.conf file to represent that peer.
My final question isacl our_sites dstdomain your.main.website.name
http_access allow our_sites
cache_peer_access myAccel allow our_sites
cache_peer_access myAccel deny allok maybe the first line should beacl
our_sites dstdomain www.mydomain.org is this correct?And then the rest
Yes. A list of all the websites you are serving through this Squid to
that peer. Wildcard sub-domains by starting with a dot for example:
.example.com
is straightforwardCan anyone help me please, I am a bit confused with
thisAny help would be very much appreciated
Amos
