| Re: how to setup squid server your /etc/squid/squid.conf is probably misconfigured and at a minimum should contain: 1] add your domain to the acl (access control lists) below the default entry "acl CONNECT method CONNECT" line like so: [use the CIDR instead of the subnetmask] (remember allow first then deny last) acl yourdomainshortname src 192.168.0.0/24 acl yourdomainshortname src .yourdomain.com you should be able to use this to refer to later in the file now... 2] search further down in the file for the line that looks like: "INSERT YOUR OWN RULES HERE" add the following line under the localhost rule: (refer to the items in 1] above) http_access allow yourdomainshortname restart squid I believe that squid uses port 3128 by default. to test this you can configure a browser and point it at your proxy server troubleshooting: [do this on the proxy server] 'tail -f /var/log/messages' in a seperate bash window while restarting squid 'tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log' in a seperate bash window while attempting connections to the proxy server. watch the output for success & failure. double check iptables to ensure that it isnt running a conflicting firewall 'service iptables status' if iptables is running you can temporarily disable it and restart squid and then test again: 'service iptables stop' In the long run you should probably configure iptables to allow, deny, drop and log traffic as appropriate for the given ports/services that you require. ensure that /etc/hosts is setup correctly and there are seperate entries for localhost and your system like so: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain 192.168.0.x proxyserver proxyserver.yourdomain.com wwx.youretcdomain.com /etc/hosts.allow & /etc/hosts.deny can also present conflicts. ensure that they dont. you can also test a given port on the localhost with telnet to see if you are allowed to connect at all: 'telnet localhost 3128' and see if you're even allowed to connect run the following command to check a given port 'netstat -n | grep 3128' (or any other port) make sure you can resolve yourself and other machines in dns by using 'dig' or nslookup' to avoid the obvious... enjoy & happy troubleshooting..

| Re: how to setup squid server The tail command in Fedora/Redhat is fully capable of 'monitoring' multiple log files at the same time like so: prompt%tail -f {filename1} {filename2} {filename3} without the "{}" brackets. you will have to use full pathnames if log files are in differing locations withi the filesystem. (I cant say for sure if this flies With SunOS or Solaris ased unix systems though.) Tail will break up the current window into three even segments across the horisontal plane and post the results of the updates o the end of each file as the updates occur. No special tools required. Just basic command usage. I digress, this is squid proxy thread. ;) |
