I have tried deleting the cache and setting its size to 10GB. I ran squid -z again and it created the directories before squid -z froze. The maximum object size is set to 5GB, and I have checked some sites using redbot.org to see if the can be cached or not. It says that they can, and I have had the squid proxy running for about 48 hrs now with about 50 clients connected. I have scanned the access.log and there is not a single hit. Even if the same page is requested many times. Are there some settings that I am missing in squid.conf that is stopping the cache from working? Do you know where I can obtain a already compiled x86 package for Debian 7 with --enable-ssl and --enable-ssl-crtd? Thanks for your help so far. 2014-06-30 00:46: Eliezer Croitoru sade: > Well it's a bit hard to say that squid is not caching anything by only > this. > > It depends on what you expect allow and config it to cache. > Since squid uses a Store-ID to identify content you may think that two > request for the same "file" so to speak will be the same but in many > cases it is not due to couple additions in the url by the user or the > client. > > There is also the possibility that you haven't configured squid to > cache big size files. > Start with making the cache_dir in a size of more then 100MB(unless > it's good for you) also try to take a look\change: > http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/maximum_object_size/ > > and other object_size affecting config directives that you can see > here: > http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/ > > Note that it is possible that you yet do not understand the complexity > of caching and I can redirect you if you want to couple articles or > config directives that can help you understand more about it. > > I have seen a nice site you can try to see that is cached well: > http://www.djmaza.info/ > > I do not know that much examples of a nice and cachable websites these > days due to the basic nature of dynamic content and SLL encrypted > sites out there in the wide web. > > If you have specific site you want to analyze you can try redbot at: > https://redbot.org/ > > You can insert the url and the interface will verify if the site\url > is cachable. > > Eliezer > > On 06/29/2014 09:54 AM, liam@xxxxxx wrote: >> I have removed all comments from my config file: >> http://pastebin.com/kqvNszyp >> >> And here is a short excerpt from my access.log - don't think it will >> be too helpful though.
