Enable SQUID Rules Debug

Enable SQUID Rules Debug

Nightmare

Have you ever tried to debug SQUID rules? It's a real PITA. This post, which is as usual a self-reminder, shows you how to enable SQUID rules debug by showing the last rule processed in your cache.log.

The Configuration Line(s)

There are two lines, one that will show you debug information and the second one, which will be more verbose, I haven't needed the second one, it just helped me get even more confused with all the extra log text.

Just add one of the two above lines, at the top of your squid.conf file, reload squid, et voilá, you'll see clearly what's going on at the acl's level in your squid processing.

Thanks!

Rha7 - Gabriel Medina

UPDATE:

Since the project started as a command line utility, I've made a lot of changes, among them the switch to python to make the project easier to install and deploy (I like to use ruby from source, and packaging the project in ruby got somewhat messed up).

So, this project is now made in PYTHON., that be told, go get it at GitHub Rha7dotCom SubDivX Git Repository, in the Downloads section you can find a *.deb file you can use to install it in Ubuntu. Thanks for reading!

How to write a simple C++ Project using Autotools - FREE Download

How to write a simple C++ Project using Autotools

My first hit at writing

This little booklet is more of an experiment than a real book, although some people might find it useful, it describes the use of the autotools tools, like aclocal, autoconf and automake, in a very hands-on way, by making a simple directory listing (like a simple ls command) application.

It is not pretty.

It wasn't supposed to be. I had known about Lulu.com for a while, and I was learning Lyx/Latex at the time, and it just came naturally, I tried writing something a little more complicated, and thus, this booklet was born.

Is it useful?

Yeah, it is. Just because it is an experiment, doesn't mean it delivers what it is supopsed to deliver, if you ever wanted to write a C++ and make a source package like the big boys, but never knew where that ./configure script came from, or what the make && sudo make install, was doing, this booklet will give you a head start.

Then why are you selling it?

I am not. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE, at the linked Lulu.com page. I also wanted to learn about how Lulu.com works and actually the download version is free, the print version, is a bit over $4 bucks, but thats just Lulu.com's expenses. I take nothing. So, just go ahead and get it while it's hot, and if you can leave me a comment.

Thanks

As always, thanks for reading.
