Re: [squid-users] cachemgr.cgi just redirects me --solved

Thank you, Henrik, for your help. I think I now understand what I was doing
wrong.
I had a webserver on port 81 and squid on port 80, like so:
     http_port 80 vport=81
     cache_peer www.mywebserver.com parent 81 0 no-query default
Since port 80 is just forwarding every request not in the cache to port 81,
I needed
to specify an additional port that wasn't an "accelerated" port for use by
the
cache manager. Everything worked when I added an additional http_port line
like so:
     http_port 80 vport=81
     http_port 3128
     cache_peer www.mywebserver.com parent 81 0 no-query default

Thanks again for the assistance.
