I'm currently setting up a new Squid proxy server to replace an existing one. The current proxy utilises an ACL which connects to a MySQL database and extracts a number of allowed URLs from a table. The problem is, I'm having trouble replicating this behaviour in the new proxy. The current squid.conf file has a number of references to MySQL - including information regarding the name of the database, the user and password etc but when I include these statements in the new squid.conf file I receive a number of errors. Obviously, I need to add MySQL support but I am unsure as to how to do this. I've seen posts regarding a package called mysql_auth but I'm assuming it won't allow me to pull URLs from a database to add into an ACL. I've posted this before but it seems that no-one has a solution. I know it's possible because an ex colleague of mine implemented it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
