RE: [squid-users] RE: Upgrade Squid on Ubuntu

Hi Amos,

Squid -v shows these options:

=======================================
Squid Cache: Version 2.6.STABLE18
configure options: '--prefix=/usr' '--exec_prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/sbin' '- -sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--libexecdir=/usr/lib/squid' '--sysconfdir=/etc/squid' '--l ocalstatedir=/var/spool/squid' '--datadir=/usr/share/squid' '--enable-async-io' '--with-pthreads' '--enable-storeio=ufs,aufs,coss,diskd,null' '--enable-linux-ne tfilter' '--enable-arp-acl' '--enable-epoll' '--enable-removal-policies=lru,heap ' '--enable-snmp' '--enable-delay-pools' '--enable-htcp' '--enable-cache-digests ' '--enable-underscores' '--enable-referer-log' '--enable-useragent-log' '--enab le-auth=basic,digest,ntlm' '--enable-carp' '--enable-follow-x-forwarded-for' '-- with-large-files' '--with-maxfd=65536' 'i386-debian-linux' 'build_alias=i386-deb ian-linux' 'host_alias=i386-debian-linux' 'target_alias=i386-debian-linux' 'CFLA GS=-Wall -g -O2' 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions' 'CPPFLAGS='
=======================================

Now, I am not quite sure which default options are used by the official Squid build, but I do not see anything out of the ordinary here.

Thanks for your input!

This usually occurs with custom builds.
It's easy to build and install Squid for Ubuntu and may be what happened.

Run "squid -v" to see the bud options. And check carefully for any
features which do not exist or differ from the official build.

If you can't find any meaningful differences "apt-get install squid"
should fix the version problem. But will loose any custom alterations
which may have been made.
