How to tune squid for getting greater hit rates... tell me some > steps to try. hi , looooook you are right . smp scale from wiki is some difficult and is not suitable for beginner to understand . for luck u can ask in mailing list and have more understanding . 1st of all : let me ask u some questions : why u need smp ? wt is the os of ur system ? do u have high load and ur squid cant handle more traffic ? wt is ur server machine details ? how is memory and cpu core and how many hardisk u have ? ================================== so , as a start , to start with smp , ur squid version should be higher than 3.2.x as i remember , so i advise u to compile squid with 3.3.9 or 3.3.10 or higher , and enable "rock" store when u compile it . then u should read this wiki http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/SmpScale and look at the bottom of page u will find 3 frequently problems when we deal with smp , u should do as explained because smp may not start well . after that , and making sure smp is fine ==================================== u can add to squid.conf : workers 3 =========>"start with 3" and start without cache_dir . when u do the above tell me so that u continue and go to next steps in tuning parameters and enhance squid . again , my understanding is not soo good, but as i can i tried to help u , mr Amos has alot of answers to next questions . wish i helped u regards Ahmd ----- Dr.x -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/how-to-use-multi-instances-SMP-in-squid-tp4663724p4663753.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
