[squid-users] Squid 4.2 : caching is not working

[Hariharan Sethuraman]

Hi team,

I have created directories using squid -z and then triggered squid -f
/etc/squid/squid.conf -NYCd 1. Find (1) debug info below. And below (2) are
the cache directory and squid-config.

(1) - debug info:
squidclient -h localhost cache_object://localhost/ mgr:objects >>> this was
showing the entry when the download was going on and disappeared after the
download complete(~290MB) on the browser. When I checked the du of cache
directory, it is intact with 200KB

(2) - cache directory and squid-config
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
bash-4.4# ls /var/spool/squid/cache
00          02          04          06          08          0A          0C
        0E          swap.state
01          03          05          07          09          0B          0D
        0F
bash-4.4#
..
cache allow all
strip_query_terms off
..
cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid/cache 2000 16 256
maximum_object_size 300 MB
..
range_offset_limit -1
..
url_rewrite_access allow all
url_rewrite_program  /usr/bin/python /usr/share/proxypass.py

http_access deny all
...
always_direct deny all

(a) Please let me know what am missing to enable cache.
(b) Also "squidclient -h localhost cache_object://localhost/ mgr:objects"
hope this command will show the entry even after caching.


Thanks,
Hari
