Re: Cache manager - No WEB server

I set this up a little while ago. You don't need a web server on the squid
host at all. You just run the cachemgr.cgi on a separate machine and have it
look at your squid server. First you need to setup the acls for cachemgr
access to point to the web server that runs the cgi (from squid.conf):

acl manager proto cache_object
acl webservers src 1.1.1.1/255.255.255.2555 2.2.2.2/255.255.255.255
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255

http_access allow manager localhost
http_access allow manager webservers
http_access deny manager

Setup whatever authentication you desire. I just have a password for cachemgr,
but only allow viewing:

cachemgr_passwd batman

Then, just run the cgi program on the web server from your browser:

   http://webserver/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi

the cache host is of course the squid server, the port is the browser port.
