I'm not sure if what I've done is correct but I've tried my best to follow the instructions found on the Squid documentation page. http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy Basically I need to set up a reverse Squid proxy with the web server on the same server. Basically what I did was: 1. Add these to the top of Squid.conf file "http_port the.public.ip.address:80 accel defaultsite=your.main.website cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 80 0 no-query originserver acl our_sites dstdomain your.main.site.name http_access allow our_sites cache_peer_access myAccel allow our_sites cache_peer_access myAccel deny all" 2. Add this to ports.conf is /etc/apache2 Listen 127.0.0.1:80 Then I've restarted both Squid and Apache but when I try to access "the.public.ip.address" which is my test server's public address, I get the message unable to connect. This must mean that my ports are incorrectly configured. >From what I understand, in order for both Squid Reverse Proxy and the Web Server to reside together, 1. Squid has to be set to listen to port 80 on the public IP (which I've set according to the instruction) 2. Apache has to be set to listen to 127.0.0.1 on port 80 (this part I'm kinda confused and probably messed up) I found this tutorial but it suggested some totally different methods from the official Squid method and I couldn't find most of the functions its asking me to change: http://www.visolve.com/squid/whitepapers/reverseproxy.php Apart from that I've not had too much luck finding documentation on setting up Squid Reverse Proxy and Web Server on the same server, so that's why I'm asking here. Any help is really appreciated Cheers *P.S* I have changed all of the "the.public.ip.address" to my public IP -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/Squid-Reverse-Proxy-cannot-open-ports-tp4661107.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
