theoritically you are right. but websites i have visited are only cached if i turn on these options.

Is It because the websites i visit are all having dynamic pages or there is something else in the config.

  Isn't caching dynamic pages counterproductive?

  Thanks Senthil,

  You are bang on target... After uncommenting out

  acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
  no_cache deny QUERY

  It seems to be working..
  Now i can see lot of TCP_HITS in access log.

  Great full points to you..

    Hi,

    I think this happens because of dynamic pages. By default the dynamic pages are not cached in Squid. To enable them you need to edit the squid configuration file. The TAG: no_cache may be set such that it denies the caching of dynamic pages.

      Hi,
      I can see that my cache_dir is getting filled up. but the strange thing is that my access log is always showing entries like:

        Hello Pen,

        Could u check the setting of cache_dir in your configuration file. If this directive is not used, it may help you in sorting this problem out. If this is not giving any helping hand, could you send me the configuration file.

        Thanks,
        Senthil Kumar.

          Dear all,

          I'm new to this group.

          I have setup web caching proxy on unix box thinking that by doing this i would be able to save a lot of internet traffic.

          But I have noticed that every time i restart, it starts to create new data from internet.
          I have set up proxy on the DSL(local IP).
          My client is configured to be read from this proxy IP:port.

          I was wondering if this is the default behaviour of squid, that it will always clear the cache contents across reboots.

          Is there any way to keep the cache in disk & reuse it across reboots

          I would Welcome your replies..

          Cheers
          pen
