Thank you Amos. It's been a while before I could finally get back to this issue. I updated my squid.conf per your recommendations (set up cache_dir, changed debug_options, also used strip_query_terms off to log full urls with parameters) debug_options 11 2 http_access allow manager localhost http_port 3129 accel defaultsite=mydomain.org cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 3130 0 no-query originserver name=myAccel login=PASS forceddomain=mydomain.org acl our_sites dstdomain mydomain.org acl our_sites2 dstdomain localhost http_access allow our_sites http_access allow our_sites2 http_access allow localhost refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 cache_peer_access myAccel allow our_sites cache_peer_access myAccel allow our_sites2 cache_dir ufs /u/home/mydomain/opt/squid/var/cache 100 16 256 I tried browsing pages (from a browser on a remote client) and also getting the headers through telnet. This is from access.log 1386731129.654 28 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/304 342 GET http://localhost:3129/index.php?title=Main_Page - FIRSTUP_PARENT/127.0.0.1 - 1386731130.074 44 127.0.0.1 TCP_REFRESH_UNMODIFIED/304 291 GET http://localhost:3129/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=mediawiki.legacy.commonPrint%2Cshared%7Cskins.monobook&only=styles&skin=monobook&* - FIRSTUP_PARENT/127.0.0.1 - 1386731130.194 172 127.0.0.1 TCP_REFRESH_MODIFIED/200 11439 GET http://localhost:3129/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=startup&only=scripts&skin=monobook&* - FIRSTUP_PARENT/127.0.0.1 text/javascript 1386731136.877 33 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/304 342 GET http://localhost:3129/index.php?title=Hygiene - FIRSTUP_PARENT/127.0.0.1 - 1386731139.501 83 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/304 342 GET http://localhost:3129/index.php?title=Main_Page - FIRSTUP_PARENT/127.0.0.1 - 1386731182.627 29 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/200 472 HEAD http://localhost:3129/index.php - FIRSTUP_PARENT/127.0.0.1 text/html Notice two calls to index.php?title=Main_Page , both missed. Also last call is a HEAD request, and the headers basically show: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2013 02:54:15 GMT Server: Apache X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.6 X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff Vary: Accept-Encoding,Cookie Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT Cache-Control: private, must-revalidate, max-age=0 Content-Language: en Last-Modified: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 03:44:42 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Cache: MISS from tourmaline.tilted.net Via: 1.1 tourmaline.tilted.net (squid/3.3.8) Transfer-Encoding: chunked At this point, access.log continues showing all missed files. I really don't understand what I need to do in order to have squid cache using localhost, or to try to hit using mydomain, and I don't seem to get any information from the headers.
