Hello there! I'm new to squid-cache and am having some problems using authentication. Before I go further I figure it would be helpful for you to know my configuration OS : Fedora Core Squid Version : squid-2.6.STABLE3 Authentication Module : mysql_auth-0.8. configured with : ./configure --enable-ssl Install location : /usr/local/squid/ MySQL Auth : /usr/local/squid/libexec Added the following to Squid.conf auth_param basic realm Private Access auth_param basic program /usr/local/squid/libexec/mysql_auth auth_param basic credentialsttl 5 auth_param basic children 5 acl sip src ***.***.***.*** acl MyPeople proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow sip MyPeople When I run this with the obvious IP address replaced with real numbers I get 2006/09/04 21:48:12| WARNING: No units on 'auth_param basic credentialsttl 5', assuming 5.000000 second Aborted (core dumped) However, if I comment out like this and run it the program starts fine without a problem #auth_param basic realm Private Access #auth_param basic program /usr/local/squid/libexec/mysql_auth #auth_param basic credentialsttl 5 #auth_param basic children 5 acl sip src ***.***.***.*** #acl MyPeople proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow MyPeople The file core.10180 was created in /usr/local/squid/var/cache/ When I use GDB : GDB -c core.10180 I get the following response: Core was generated by `./squid -N -f /usr/local/squid/etc/squidAuth.conf'. Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted. #0 0x006877a2 in ?? () I have also tried making my own simple reader in PERL to simply return "OK" as a hard-coded value on STDOUT auth_param basic program /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/squid/libexec/perlAuth.cgi Which does not work either and generates the same type of error. Any suggestions from the listserv? Thanks in advance Kevin Gordon
