Re: [squid-users] Virtual hosts + 127.0.0.1 problems

Thanks for your advice guys. I've got it working now.

To summarise (in the hope that others may benefit):

As I'm using domain based virtual hosts (i.e multiple domains under a single
IP address, offloading dynamic requests to Apache) rather than IP based
virtual hosts (an IP address for each domain), then I don't need the
httpd_accel_host virtual on, but rather I should set
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on directive. The other part of the jigsaw was
to use httpd_accel_single_host on.

Perhaps it's because I'm being particularly thick, but because I had
configured Apache as a virtual host (single IP address), I thought the
Squid "virtual host" parameter was related to that, and should be set..
Could the docs be improved to make this more clear ?

So the configuration which works for me now is:

(httpd.conf)

BindAddress 127.0.0.1
Port 80

(squid.conf)

http_port 80
httpd_accel_host 127.0.0.1
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_single_host on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

The great thing about this configuration is that no redirector needs to be
written, no funky port 81 or 8080 need to be used.
