Hi, I have googled like crazy for some simple instructions to setup Squid as a cache for Apache. I do NOT want any filtering or authentication. Just a transparent cache. I am on CentOS 5. For firewall, I use the usual APF and BFD with iptables, and I do not want to use Squid for any filtering. I have installed squid with the usual "yum install squid". Now how do I configure it so that Apache (on port 80) will internally check if a file is cached on Squid (on whatever port) and if the file is found, then serve that instead of an Apache connection. Am I understanding Squid right? Also, will it cache dynamic content as well -- I mean, for instance, the generated output of a PHP program, at least the ones without url parameters? We have a number of pages on the site that have no file extension at all (e.g., *.php) because the default handler is set up as php, so we could have http://ourdomain.com/index -- and Apache serves this up as a php page as it is meant to. Will Squid recognize this? Thanks for any tips or pointers. I went to the wiki but sadly it talks in very jargon-ish language, and does not answer the simple question "How to install Squid as a cache for Apache". PK
