Hi there, I am using RHEL 4.7 with Squid 2.5 STABLE14 I have installed and loaded squid the best way I know. When the client loads google it takes appox 30 seconds before the page appears. Some other web pages take even longer. Have I done something wrong? I am also websense squid intigration but that should not have a baring on it. Also when I installed squid it placed my squid.conf file in the following location: /usr/local/squid/etc while the OS version has the squid.conf in this location: /etc/squid/ Which version runs when the service starts? Attached is my squid.conf file: http_port 3128 hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? no_cache deny QUERY cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 100 16 256 cache_access_log /usr/local/squid/var/logs/access.log cache_log /usr/local/squid/var/logs/cache.log dns_nameservers 192.168.5.2 172.16.0.3 172.16.0.4 auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours auth_param basic casesensitive off #Modified by Iain #Does not Parse #auth_param ntlm program /usr/lib/squid/ntlm_auth KPL/nevada #auth_param ntlm children 5 #auth_param ntlm max_challenge_reuses 0 #auth_param ntlm max_challenge_lifetime 1 hour refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl SSL_ports port 443 563 acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 563 # https, snews acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http acl CONNECT method CONNECT acl 172net src 172.16.0.0/20 acl orkie src 192.168.5.0/24 http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow 172net http_access allow orkie http_access allow localhost http_access deny all http_reply_access allow all http_reply_access allow all icp_access allow all cache_effective_user squid cache_effective_group squid visible_hostname virginia.kettle.co.uk httpd_accel_with_proxy off coredump_dir /usr/local/squid/var/cache All other setting in squid are defaults.
