[squid-users] Splash page issues

[Darren B.]

Hi

I removed the -a flag from the external_acl_type line but it still 
refused to create a session.db so the acl failed.

after scratching around, I found that limiting it to ipv4 made 
everything work perfectly.

the new config line reads

external_acl_type splash_page ipv4 ttl=5 concurrency=100 %SRC 
/usr/lib/squid3/ext_session_acl -t 7200 -b /mnt/ksn/squid/session/session.db

happy days.

thanks

Darren B
