Dear Squid users, I am trying to write an proxy authentication perl script authenticate2.pl that simple uses a mysql table to verify user and password, this is the part of the squid.conf auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/authenticate2.pl auth_param basic realm Proxy Server auth_param basic credentialsttl 4 hour acl users proxy_auth REQUIRED acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 There is an error that I notice from cache.log, it seems that the file authenticate2.pl does not exist, but it does and is in the directory indicated and it has 777 permissions, /usr/lib/squid/authenticate2.pl Would you please tell me what is wrong? or is it a bug? I would really appreciate any help, Here is part of the cache.log where I see the error, Squid Cache (Version 2.5.STABLE1): Exiting normally. 2005/07/14 06:32:43| Starting Squid Cache version 2.5.STABLE1 for i386-redhat-linux-gnu... 2005/07/14 06:32:43| Process ID 4697 2005/07/14 06:32:43| With 1024 file descriptors available 2005/07/14 06:32:43| DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, port 32818, FD 5 2005/07/14 06:32:43| Adding nameserver 168.234.224.4 from /etc/resolv.conf 2005/07/14 06:32:43| helperOpenServers: Starting 5 'authenticate2.pl' processes 2005/07/14 06:32:43| ipcCreate: /usr/lib/squid/authenticate2.pl: (2) No such file or directory 2005/07/14 06:32:43| ipcCreate: /usr/lib/squid/authenticate2.pl: (2) No such file or directory 2005/07/14 06:32:43| ipcCreate: /usr/lib/squid/authenticate2.pl: (2) No such file or directory 2005/07/14 06:32:43| ipcCreate: /usr/lib/squid/authenticate2.pl: (2) No such file or directory 2005/07/14 06:32:43| ipcCreate: /usr/lib/squid/authenticate2.pl: (2) No such file or directory Best regards, Richard __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
