Dear squid-cache.org, I have three RHEL4 servers : 1. configured with squid 2.6 Version 2.6.STABLE16 in accelerator mode 2. configured with (apache) httpd daemon 3. this machine has curl installed (to generate http requests) Each time I do curl http://omp.wc.be/home.html, I notice that the WC ALLWAYS sends the reqeust to the http server. It does NOT cache my home.html page. If I remove the "always_direct allow all" statement then I get the error back from WC that it is unable to forward request. I have : "cache allow all" statement. "refresh_pattern" but even if I comment it, I have the same issue. What is wrong in my configuration that the accelerator does not cache the file, but always asks for it ? #[root] #[root]cat squid.conf #ACCELERATOR ################### http_port 80 defaultsite=10.10.10.3 cache_peer omp.wc.be parent 80 0 no-query originserver ######ACLS############### acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl port80 port 80 http_access allow port80 always_direct allow all #CACHING RULES ############### acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? cache deny QUERY cache allow all refresh_pattern . 1440 20% 4320 #MISCELLANIOUS ##################3 visible_hostname omp.wc.be cache_effective_user squid cache_effective_group squid dns_testnames omp.wc.be cache_mem 50 MB #[root] #[root] #[root] note : 10.10.10.3 is the IP of the http server omp.wc.be is referenced as 10.10.10.3 by DNS. on curl-machine omp.wc.be is resolved as 12.1.1.1 (=listening interface on squid) note : home.html is only a one-line html page with no cgi, ... in it !
