[squid-users] Need help with Squid on Windows

Fri Apr 22 15:09:04 UTC 2016

Hello all,

I need help with an issue that is now beyond me. I've installed squid 
3.5.16 (From: http://squid.diladele.com/) on my Windows 10 laptop, and 
I'm trying to enable the URL Rewrite helpers that I wrote in perl for my 
linux server. I've already done the necessary adjustments to them to 
make them work on windows. Running them directly seems to be fine, 
however when squid runs them they fail to execute. I've gotten as far as 
finding out perl is executing okay, however the script is not. I am 
unable to figure out how to debug it further. Running squid with full 
debugging (squid.exe -N -X -d 7) did not produce any significant 
information as to why they were not executing. My linux server is 
running squid 3.5.11 and is not having any issues with the helpers. The 
very first thing the helpers do is open a log file and write an 
initialization statement to it. I'm not seeing this when squid tried to 
execute it, so I'm fairly certain it has something to do with the 
execution of the script rather than a problem with the script itself. 
I've also examined the permissions, and those should be good.

Thanks in advance for the help.
