Hi' there

I have been trying to install Squid 3.0 today on my server and I am having a few problems getting it up and running as it should.Been reading most I could find about it, but its a bit confusing as I pretty new to this.

The software seems to be installed as it should but its the config file that is bugging me.
What I want is to set it up to cache my websites to prevent them loading from the harddrive every time someone visits the site. I got 6 websites running on the server with a diffrent IP for each, I will only need it to work on port 80 for this purpose and nothing else. Right now I got no clue how to make it work for all the domains at once so If someone could post a simple squid.conf that would do the trick, it would make me a happy man.

You need to configure squid and apache - it is called reverse proxy - Squid Reverse Proxy

Thanks for the reply, already seen that page though. It is all the acls settings that got me all confused.
First of all I don't seem to be using any internal IPs, and some of the settings doesnt seem to be needed if you only use it for a reverse proxy.

Assuming that proxy and apache is on same server.

Open httpd.conf and make sure you have something as follows:
Now open squid conf and setup as follows:
Add acl as follows:
Restart both squid and proxy:
Test it!

thanks, but a few of these features seems to have been removed in 3.0.

efter giving up I gave it another try today and actually got it partly working with this config:

http_port 3128 defaultsite=www.mysite.com vhost
forwarded_for on
refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080
refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440
refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320
cache_peer MYSITEIP parent 80 0 no-query originserver name=apache
acl sites_apache dstdomain Website Hosting - Mysite.com mysite.com

1) Question, does it still work as a webcache/accelerator without the accel in http_port 3128 accel defaultsite=www.mysite.com vhost, as I couldn't get it running with that switch?

2) How to make it work for more domains than mysite.com? I got 4 domains on that server each with a diffrent IP, and I don't seem to be able to use more than 1 line of http_port 3128 defaultsite=www.mysite.com vhost or cache_peer MYSITEIP parent 80 0 no-query originserver name=apache lines.
