I would like to go with mysql. I am new to these. So could you pls tell me how to start it. On the box running squid 2.5, I have installed mysql RPM and started the service. and got mysql promt and created a database called squid. psl see below; mysql> create database squid; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.03 sec) mysql> show databases; +----------+ | Database | +----------+ | mysql | | netmrg | | squid | | test | +----------+ 4 rows in set (0.02 se What are the things I will have to do beyond this point? How use a basic authentication helper to authenticate against that ? I think I will have to add something to squid.conf file.
