**zmunawar** · 01-04-2007, 10:39 AM

I installed squid from source code.

Its operatrional and running.

But when i want to enable Tranparent Proxy option , i cant find anthing like
Httpd_accel_port or
Httpd_accel_host

I am using Fedora 4 and squid 2.6 stable 6.

Any clue?????

Well from the description it clearly says:

Default none

Which means as default they're not mentioned in the configuration file, so if you want to use them, you need to write them in yourself...

Hi,
Http_accel_Host
Http_accel_port

these are in the line number: 2175 / 2176

bye

Zmunawar, as of squid 2.6, these transparent proxy commands:

Code:

httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

have been replaced with just this:

Code:

http_port 3128 transparent

Check this "Controlling Web Access with Squid" link for more details.

Hi Dear,

Sorry i have never worked on Fedora 4, i tried to edit Fedora 3 squid with the same command i use on redhat 9, it's not working.
Can you please tell me how you edit the squid on fedora 4?

The configuration file in which these commands are located is:

Code:

/etc/squid/squid.conf

Between Squid versions, the files can have very different syntax and commands, so it is not a good idea to overwrite the configuration file of a new version with that of an older version of squid. This can cause fatal errors that will prevent squid from starting. If squid fails to start, check your /var/log/messages file and the files in /var/log/squid (especially /var/log/squid/squid.out) for errors that can help you pinpoint the source of your problems.

It is a much better practice to use the default configuration file that comes with the new version of squid and modify it with the only the important additional commands that you need.
