Squid Returned to Packages *** PLEASE TEST ***
-
hmm, who is Fernado and databeestje?
I tought I was the one who updated the package.First, you don't have to start squid manually… I think you, if you change something it will restart squid automaticly.
Even you may not start squid via the manual way, because some things has to be done first.I think the alarm was because there was no cache dir made and maybe you started it twice.
hmm... no wait...
I looked at the CVS page and I saw there are still the old scripts on the site and in the package list are also the old ones.I think you need to copy the eddited files I mailed to you first.. (see other thread)
The author for the CVS fields is the one who actually commits the files. Its not going to show your name as the author.
The squid.inc file was updated 21 hours ago. Does this include the changes you made? I'm on the dev list and received a copy of squid_diffs.tar.gz. The archive is corrupt and only squid_inc.diff is accessible with winrar. On me fedora box it tells me its not in gzip format.
I did a tar xf on your archive and it looks like it was not in gzip format. Should have only had the .tar extension.
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Read 2095 bytes from squid_diffs.tar.gz
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errorsNot sure what you used to create this with. Still only can get part of the squid_inc.diff file
Out of curiosity I just installed squid on a clean pfSense image in vmware. It still doesn't work. Looks like major changes are needed to get this working. It is even causing kernel panics.
Although maybe this is due to not having all the changed files.

Well it looks like some one has altered the script in the wrong way (it could be that the diff file wasn't good)
But I see some changes I made, but not all… and some code I have deleted is placed back, so that doesn't work indeedI'll post my versions as txt files...
just rename them (squid_inc.txt -> squid.inc, squid_xml.txt -> squid.xml, squid_cache.txt) and place them in the /usr/local/pkg dir (just overwrite)Note: the copyright message is deleted as I tought that should have be done (I don't see them in the CVS aswell)

Nobody has even looked at your patches yet. Be patient.

No, but I was just having a quick look at the inc file and it wasn't the one I have made.
But I have attached the ones I have made to my previous post. (the first attachment were the wrong files, my mistake, now they are the ones I have)

Those updated files do not work either. I just replace all mine with those. Went to the squid settings, resaved the page and rebooted the box.
I don't have the time to look into this now. My advice to you is to make sure you test out all the possible configuration options. It doesn't even work on my box with the default settings. The package should be fool proof.
I made modifications on miniupnpd and built the imspector package. No matter what settings the user chooses it is impossible to break the package. I know that squid is more difficult due to the numerous config pages, but the same thought should be put into it.
The correct and more time consuming fix is better than the short hack to get it working.

I just looked at the the changes been made after my version… and I want to explain some things (to the author)
I saw you replaced this :
/*
mwexec("/usr/local/sbin/squid -k shutdown");
sleep (5);
mwexec("killall -9 squid");
sleep(1);
mwexec_bg("/usr/local/sbin/squid -D");
*/
with this:
restart_service('squid');That doesn't work, because squid will be started with the shell script in the background.
The shellscript sends a shutdown to squid waits 15 seconds and then kills it.
What happens, squid stops and starts again and then get killed again after the 15 seconds delay.
I choosed to restart squid within the script because it will get a hold on the process until squid has been restarted and after that the new rules will be made, wich is my next point.I saw you added this again:
if($squid_conf['proxy_port'])
$port = $squid_conf['proxy_port'];
else
$port = "3128";why? you only want to nat if it's in transparent mode, otherwise it's only a service listening on a port, so the nat will only be made with a transparent proxy in other words, $port will always be port 80.
This line does say it in php code
if (($squid_conf['transparent_proxy'] != 'on') || ($squid_conf['allow_interface'] != 'on')) {
return;
}btw, don't see this as be bitching or something like that, I think you have made a very nice script!
I only added some extra option as requested to store the cache an logs on an other place, and in the upcomming day I want to make 1 update, so that the script deletes the old cache dir if you configure another one.
If you guys want that aswell, I'll share it again. -

Ooh and btw, be sure you have the latest squid version 2.6.STABLE5
It won't work with older versions -
Well, I had too little time yesterday to properly test it. I was not even considering it done.
Also, that restart sequence is allready gone and replaced with a squid -k reconfigure. That works so much better.
If squid is dead for some other (unlikely) reason the monitor script will restart it.I removed the habit to kill and start the proxy_monitor script in a few places. It seems silly.
Also it appears to start 2 of those on boot.The port thing I already adjusted after the earlier post.
Still debugging. It's started, it's listening on port 80, it has a rdr and pass rule to port 80.
But nothing is going through.2006/12/19 20:35:50| Accepting transparently proxied HTTP connections at 192.168.12.253, port 80, FD 9.

Slightly baffled why nothing is showing up in the logs.

The cache or log dir isn't set, I have set a default value for it, but you need to change the scripts, go to the gui, see if the cache dir and log dir are set right (this because the you just have replaced the files and don't installed it as a fresh package) and then hit save…
Yes they are set /var/squid/log and /var/squid/cache. Although the script doesn't seem to make the directories. From looking at the log I'm assuming
Dec 20 00:23:10 php: : / does not exist. Creating.
was it trying to create the directory, but what create /? Somethings not right there.
I just created the directories by hand and reboot the box. Still doesn't work. Says it cannot open HTTP port like it did before and then squid exits due to frequent failures.
-
Let me commit a newer squid.inc from my box into CVS
-
@ Databeesje: Indeed the -k option is better, but I didn't know if there were some problems with it in early editions, so I kept it like the way it was.
I must say the -k shutdown option takes some time to actually stop, sometimes up till a minute, I don't know what happens if you start it when the old one is still running.Strange that the data is not going thru the proxy..
I used this page http://www.ericgiguere.com/tools/http-header-viewer.html to see if my proxy is running, and on my box it worked great.. with the proxy turned on you could see the header is changing.@rsw686: the script does create the dirs and even doe a -z to rebuild the cache
I seems the that the dir isn't passed thru correctly… -
Let me commit a newer squid.inc from my box into CVS
I like your -k reconfigure haven't tought about that!
I saw you left out the abbility to change dirs (I think it's step 2 if you want to add that feature to list in the first place)
I'm going to change my version with the -k reconigure aswell…
-
I have added a shutdown time of 3 seconds a number of commits back. By default it waits 30 seconds. Which is silly.
Since squid binds and unbinds configurations seamlessly it seems appropriate. And bringing down the squid for a config change is not common. I use the reconfigure option as much as I can at work. Because it is non disruptive.
Furthermore I think we squid use squid check to see if the config is OK and squid is running.
Could be something wrong on my box though. Not sure. it's a bit of a testbox.
-
Well, I can't test right now, running a new install ::)
The config was screwed so I resetted to factory default, and after that I wouldn't let me installe the squid package again…and I think I have 3 versions of squid installed on that box now, so it will be time..
-
In terms of the throttling not working as I expected, I believe that squid.inc line 544 should be changed from
delay_parameters 1 $overall/$threshold $perhost/$threshold
to
delay_parameters 1 $overall/$overall $perhost/$perhost
$threshold is 10MB, we don't even have 10MB on our link, we have 1MB, so the guys will never get throttled with the current squid.inc
From http://www.visolve.com/squid/squid24s1/glossary.php#Classes:
Each of these parameters is specified as restore / maximum - restore being the bytes per second restored to the bucket, and maximum being the amount of bytes that can be in the bucket at any time. It is important to remember that they are in bytes per second, not bits. To specify that a parameter is unlimited, use a -1.
If we wish to limit any parameter in bits per second, divide this amount by 8, and use the value for both the restore and the maximum. For example, to restrict the entire proxy to 64kbps, use:
delay_parameters 1 8000/8000
-
I don't mind changing that, but are you certain that actually works. I have zero experience with squid delay buckets.
-
Yes, I'm running it like that on a Smoothwall at the moment, and it does work.
-
@nicki
I haven't looked at throteling yet, but I'll change it… thanks..I have also an update for the latest CVS
In the restart script I would change
log_error("Reloading Squid for configuration sync");
mwexec("/usr/local/sbin/squid -k reconfigure");in to:
if (!is_service_running('squid')) {
log_error("Starting Squid");
mwexec_bg("/usr/local/sbin/squid -D");
mwexec_bg("/usr/local/etc/rc.d/proxy_monitor.sh");
} else {
log_error("Reloading Squid for configuration sync");
mwexec("/usr/local/sbin/squid -k reconfigure");
}because when you install squid fresh, it won't start.
So the first time you configure squid, it will start aswell...Btw, after my clean install it runs perfect.
I replaced the 3 files with my own version because I like to change my cache dir...
But I think it can be back in the list -
Newer squid.inc with fixes.
Cache location added to XML -
Newer squid.inc with fixes.
Cache location added to XMLGood job!!!! Looks to be working fine. The service starts without errors. I can't really test it further without reconfiguring my box to use the vmware pfSense so I'll let others do that.
