RE: [squid-users] How to fix active page time-outs? PLEASE HELP

(Mark sent me his squid.conf to review)

(Mark sent me his squid.conf to look at)

Looking at the following lines in your squid.conf

half_closed_clients on
request_timeout 10 minutes
persistent_request_timeout 30 minutes

I'd have to say eveything looks good - I don't know why it
would work yesterday and not today. Has anything else changed?

Some other ideas:

I noticed you're using NTLM auth, so your clients are almost
certainly using IE. Under Internet Options, Advanced, are they
set to use HTTP/1.1 through proxy connections? If so, try
turning it off.

Also, by default Squid times out persistent server connections.
You could try adjusting this default setting:

pconn_timeout 120 seconds

Try adjusting it to the same as persistent_request_timeout.

In response to your questions about cache manager:

All you should have to do is drop the cachemgr.cgi into your
Apache's cgi-bin directory and reference that URL in a browser.

Cachemgr.cgi just uses a special URL on Squid's http_port. Just
make sure the Apache box can access that port on the Squid box, and
make sure in cachemgr.cgi you specify the correct hostname and port.

For most uses, no, you don't. Certain operations, though (such as
viewing the config and shutting down the cache) do require a password.
