” Kya bate hai ” I mean what best you have done! cache_mem 512 MB, maximum_object_size 4096 KB, maximum_object_size_in_memory 1024 KB. This are all best.

I like to use Squid 2.5. ITs really interesting……!
EVEN I love my firewall to move the webserver port. just get such things and you to would feel great to have read this…..!

@andika - bisa pak, ada settingan utk menentukan format log nya mau sedetil apa.
.
Tapi customer saya biasanya pada tidak peduli, mereka lebih pilih google analytics sejauh ini.

Log squid bisa diset selengkap log apache detilnya? Misal untuk di-post-process pakai webalizer. Setelah dipasang squid sebagai reverse proxy kan semua entri log apache IP-nya berubah jadi IP si squid, jadi log apache relatif gak berguna setelahnya.

weird thing is I have that enabled.

i changed my port back to 80 (changed it in httpd.conf) and the site is working but its probably not using squid

@john - I’m using my firewall to move the webserver port.
.
re: squid, looks like you have not enabled squid’s virtual switch.
.
If you’re using squid 2.5, the command is httpd_accel_host virtual
.
If you’re using squid 2.6 and later, the command is http_port 80 accel defaultsite=www.myaccelerateddomain.com vhost

wordpress, php, and squid - they don’t work along well
.
Here’s an excerpt from a report made for one of my client :
.

Wordpress & PHP, however, produces HTTP header which basically instructed Squid not to cache. We need to change this :

### editing /usr/local/lib/php.ini
was: session.cache_limiter = nocache
now: session.cache_limiter = public

### backed up /home/myblog/wp-includes/classes.php to /home/myblog/wp-includes/classes.php-original
### editing /home/myblog/wp-includes/classes.php, line 178
### Wordpress version 2.3.1
was: nocache_headers();
now: //nocache_headers();

.
Now their website can handle hundreds of requests per second without breaking a sweat.

Appreciate your writing up this little guide.

I already had squid running but it was version 2.5 and didn’t find out till after the upgrade to 2.6 that the syntax for the httpd_accel stuff had changed.

Thanks to your page I didn’t have to comb through the docs for too long.

For those using Squid 2.5 (or before), here’s a quicktip on what to put in squid.conf, so to make squid become a reverse proxy :

### the essentials
http_port 80
httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 8181
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

### cache-related settings
cache_mem 128 MB
maximum_object_size_in_memory 1024 KB
cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 4096 16 256

### access control
http_access allow all
http_reply_access allow all
icp_access allow all

@dikshie - thanks, tapi dengan squid saja saya sudah bisa mendapatkan performance gain sampai lebih dari 10x
Dan, yang paling penting, squid sudah proven soal reliability.
.
Jadi kalau untuk server production, saya pasti pilih yang aman.
.
Anyway terimakasih banyak untuk informasinya, mudah2an varnish bisa menjadi alternatif yang bahkan lebih baik lagi daripada squid.

utk *reverse proxy/http accelerator* cobain pakai varnish:
http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/
*katanya* performance nya diklaim jauh lebih baik drpd squid.
