Re: [squid-users] Getting config from running squid

The configuration can only be dumped via cachemgr if you have enabled
this in squid.conf.

However, even if you have not enabled dumping of the configuration all
is not lost. You might be able to enable the config dump option by using
a debugger.

  gdb /path/to/squid pid_of_running_squid

  tbreak cachemgrStart
  continue

  [send a request for config]
  [gdb should stop in cachemgrStart]

  print cachemgrFindAction("config")
  print $->flags.pw_req = 0

  continue
