Hello, Would appreciate your help with my Ubuntu EC2 instance Squid configuration. Until recently I had a single dedicated Fedora server for my development needs. Currently I am trying to migrate to Amazon EC2 based Ubuntu Hardy Heron instance for my server requirements. Background: - Single Ubuntu EC2 instance to manage multiple services/domains running on different ports - Squid is configured on port 80, to intercept and manage all HTTP/HTTPS requests. Port 80 is the only publicly accessible port in this EC2 instance. - Squid utilizes jesred to redirect all incoming HTTP requests to the appropriate services in the instance. Some services/domains are Apache websites, and some are Rails and JBoss applications. Configuration so far: - installed Apache2 - install squid (sudo apt-get install squid). squid/2.6.STABLE18 is installed at this time. - install jesred (sudo apt-get install jesred) - edited the squid.conf, jesred.conf & jesred.rules files Unfortunately all my HTTP requests result in "Unable to forward this request at this time" error. Here are some log snippets when I receive the above error. Just as a FYI - when I run 'curl' on local ports the appropriate pages are retrieved. ========= BEGIN log snippets ==> /var/log/squid/access.log <== 08/Dec/2009:16:52:06 0000 5 171.xx.xx.xx TCP_MISS/503 1653 GET http://ec2-67-202-5-12.compute-1.amazonaws.com/ - NONE/- text/html 08/Dec/2009:16:52:07 0000 0 171.xx.xx.xx TCP_MISS/503 1675 GET http://ec2-67-202-5-12.compute-1.amazonaws.com/... - NONE/- text/html ==> /var/log/squid/cache.log <== 2009/12/08 16:52:06| Failed to select source for 'http://127.0.0.1:10001/' 2009/12/08 16:52:06| always_direct = 0 2009/12/08 16:52:06| never_direct = 0 2009/12/08 16:52:06| timedout = 0 2009/12/08 16:52:07| Failed to select source for 'http://127.0.0.1:10001/favicon.ico' 2009/12/08 16:52:07| always_direct = 0 2009/12/08 16:52:07| never_direct = 0 2009/12/08 16:52:07| timedout = 0 ==> /var/log/squid/jesred-rewrite.log <== 1260291126.849 171.xx.xx.xx/- http://ec2-67-202-5-12.compute-1.amazonaws.com/ http://127.0.0.1:10001/ 1 1260291127.032 171.xx.xx.xx/- http://ec2-67-202-5-12.compute-1.amazonaws.com/... http://127.0.0.1:10001/favicon.ico 1 ========== END log snippets Following is my current squid.conf definition ========== BEGIN /etc/squid/squid.conf definition http_port 80 accel vhost defaultsite=ec2-174-129-18-120.compute-1.amazonaws.com vport # ec2 instance hostname command value is used visible_hostname domU-12-31-39-0A-50-C7.compute-1.internal tcp_outgoing_address 127.0.0.1 # error_directory /usr/share/squid/errors/English error_directory /etc/squid/errors/English hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? hierarchy_stoplist banner acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? cache deny QUERY cache_store_log none acl apache rep_header Server ^Apache broken_vary_encoding allow apache cache_mem 128 MB #maximum_object_size 4096 KB #uncomment next line and comment previous to disable caching: maximum_object_size 0 KB minimum_object_size 0 KB maximum_object_size_in_memory 8 KB cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 1024 16 256 logformat squid %tl %6tr %>a %Ss/%03Hs %<st %rm %ru %un %Sh/%<A %mt access_log /var/log/squid/access.log squid url_rewrite_program /usr/lib/squid/jesred url_rewrite_children 10 url_rewrite_host_header on refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 ############### begin access controls acl MyNetwork src localhost acl myLocalhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl hostsToBlock src 204.9.65.186 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl ValidDomains dstdomain .domain1.com .domain2.com .amazonaws.com acl HTTPports port 80 acl Safe_ports port 80 acl Safe_ports port 443 acl SSL_ports port 443 acl CONNECT method CONNECT acl Safe_proto proto HTTP HTTPS acl buggy_server url_regex ^http://.... redirector_access deny !ValidDomains redirector_access deny hostsToBlock http_access deny !Safe_proto http_access deny !ValidDomains http_access deny hostsToBlock http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access allow MyNetwork http_access allow CONNECT SSL_ports http_access allow myLocalhost http_access deny CONNECT http_access allow ValidDomains # no difference with or without the following http_access # http_access allow all ############################ end access controls nonhierarchical_direct off broken_posts allow buggy_server icp_access allow all coredump_dir /var/spool/squid ############# Start of cache_peer definitions cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 10001 0 no-query originserver name=tuesday default cache_peer_domain tuesday ec2-67-202-45-182.compute-1.amazonaws.com cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 10002 0 no-query originserver name=dom1 cache_peer_domain dom1 www.domain1.com cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 10003 0 no-query originserver name=dom2 cache_peer_domain dom2 www.domain2.com ========== END /etc/squid/squid.conf definition Thanks a bunch.
