Re: [squid-users] Setting up squid as an accel proxy

Amos,

I have upgraded to STABLE17 but I still have the same issue.

Basically I want to be able to go to URL in my browser like this: http://linproxy1.mysite.com/. (linproxy1 is running squid)

and have squid proxy the default search page from: http://searchengine.mysite.com/

Config settings:
  http_port linproxy1.mysite.com:80 accel
  cache_peer 10.2.234.9 parent 80 0 no-query originserver name=searchengine proxy-only

Please use STABLE17, 16 has a major security bug.

So http://linproxy1.mysite.com is the publicly accessible website for the
search engine?

Does the machine at searchengine.mysite.com serve pages for
http://linproxy1.mysite.com properly?
