Squid Proxy Caching on Linux
 
Hi,

I need help with Squid Proxy Caching Software.

I have reviewed the official Squid documents and searched the web extensively for it but couldn't find a simple configuration guide.


Here is my problem:

1- I installed FREEBSD release 7 [ Full Installation ]

2- I installed SQUID 3
./configure
make
make install

3. added only
visible_hostname myhost

4. run the command
./squid -z

5. ./squid start

but ./squid -k check
gives me:
Squid: error: could not send signal 0 to process 15456: (3) no such process



my question:
what is the minimum configuration i can do to start using squid just ?

thanks

why are you buiding your own squid when bsd ships with squid ?

never mind, it works after little tuning up in the squid.conf

Now a quick question for the Squid Guru

How I can I add user authentication for the proxy


Anyone who connects to the proxy should get a username and password for verification..

how can I enable this on squid.

thanks

Try this:

There is more than one way use authentication with Squid. Read some of these links and HOWTOs and give it a shot yourself.
