Hello alll
i installed simple proxy on my linux9 and installed squid transperent src.rpm. but i want to know if we start simple proxy then its configuration file is in /etc/squid/squid.conf and if we start transperent proxy /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf.
i confuse about these files are diffrent or same. if i want to remove transperent proxy then what is the procedure.
please tell me in details.

there is nothing like transparent proxy just by installing a package having trasparent in its name.
about different location of squid.conf files..
If you install squid from rpm package then mostly (all the time) configuration files goes to /etc/squid/ while if you install from tarball then it goes usually to /usr/local/squid/etc/ !
So now you have to either install squid rpm or delete squid package file so that you can get sure which squid you are running !
I think you are running rpm based !

you just remove squid RPM..
The do as I have suggested.. I am sure that will work..
You have to just keep those in squid.conf and nothing else to do anywhere ..

Hi dear
I think u have missed a entry in /etc/hosts
THIS IS THE PROBLEM
open /etc/hosts filr
make entry like this
192.168.2.190 mycomputer
{ where 192.168.2.190 is ur ipaddress & mycomputer is ur computername)
& if u dontknow ur computername....
give this command on the terminal
#hostname
& make the required entry in /etc/hosts file...
The above entry is must...........
Afetr that ur SQUID will work

If you want to remove squid rpm then just do..
rpm -e <rpm full name> !

Hi dear
By default the configuration file for squid is
/etc/squid/squid.conf......
so u have to configure /etc/squid/squid.conf...... not the file which is in /usr/local/etc/squid
So U have to make changes only in
/etc/squid/squid.conf

hello ricky&gaurav
Just tell me first i configured simple squid and it worked fine
after that i defined to configure squid transperent proxy so i installed src rpm after that i made chane in /usr/
local/etc/squid as u told in tutorial but my squid is not working.if the default file is /etc/squid/squid.conf then why want to change in /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf. after installing src rpm. please tell me
-
you are getting way confused !
You have installed two squids .. one usig rpm and other using tar.gz ie source.
Now you are using rpm's squid installation as I can know it from your comments..
What you simply do is uninstall (delete) files of usr/local/squid
and edit only /etc/squid/ files !
about non working of rpm .. if it is compiled with linux-netfilter directive then it should work .
(in rpm packages comilation is done by other people who create the package)
Hope you get it !
