1 Squid comes with a set of tests, so don't forget to run "gmake test"

     2 and make sure that the output matches the master test results.

     3 

     4 These squid tests use cppunit. Currently this requires a version of cppunit

     5 installed that have been built with the GNU version 5.3 compilers.

    11 Add these three lines to the top of /etc/squid/squid.conf:

    12 

    13 cache_dir ufs /var/squid/cache/ 500 16 256

    14 acl my_machine src 192.0.2.21    # Replace this IP address with your IP address

    15 http_access allow my_machine

    16 

    17 You might need to remove or comment out the following lines or Squid

    18 will fail to start:

    19 

    20   # acl manager proto cache_object

    21 

    22 Make sure apache is running.

    23 

    24   $ sudo svcs apache24

    25 

    26 Start squid:

    27 

    28   $ sudo svcadm enable squid

    29 

    30 On your desktop set your web browser to proxy through this squid:

    31 

    32 Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings

    33 

    34       Check: Manual proxy configuration

    35       HTTP Proxy: <squid servers IP address>    Port: 3128

    36 

    37   Save

    38 

    39 Enter <squid server URL> in your web browser. You should be accessing squid

    40 and seeing files stored in the http server on that machine.

    41 

    42 Enter <squid server URL>:897 in your web browser and squid should complain.

    43 If those two things happen, then squid is working properly.
