Hi, There are 2 squid(2.5.STABLE12 ) servers with identical config. First is running on RHEL4 and other is on FreeBSD 6.3. I'm struggling with these two problems: 1. Unable to open "howtoforge.com" site when using RHEL squid. Its strange as config file is identical to FreeBSD squid where site is opening fine. Browser keep saying "Transferring data from howtoforge...." or "Read howtoforge.com..." for forever even after repeatitive refreshing. 2. While downloading data (say 100 MB) from net, oftenly speed degrade rapidly and download get stalled or continue with very poor speed. dont have any dealy pools or any such restrictions but facing the same problem using both squid servers. If bypass squid, download complete fine. Here is squid.conf from FreeBSD machine (though both are identical except paths): Code: http_port 3128 hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? no_cache deny QUERY cache_mem 512 MB cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/cache 15360 16 256 cache_access_log /usr/local/squid/logs/access.log cache_log /dev/null cache_store_log none auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours auth_param basic casesensitive off refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl SSL_ports port 443 563 acl CONNECT method CONNECT acl ournet src 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 acl except src 192.168.50.199/255.255.255.255 acl vpn src 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 acl block_url url_regex "/etc/sites.txt" acl nocachedomains dstdomain .mysite.com http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow except http_access deny ournet block_url http_access allow ournet http_access allow vpn http_access deny all always_direct allow nocachedomains no_cache deny nocachedomains http_reply_access allow all icp_access allow all httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_host virtual httpd_accel_with_proxy on httpd_accel_uses_host_header on logfile_rotate 7 coredump_dir /usr/local/squid/cache Any idea would be highly appreciated.
