Squid

Hi I have just set about getting Squid to filter websites (thanks to Chris Dawkins for his e-mail) . I have it filtering lovely except that the webpage that is generated is fairly non descript and I would like to change it. I have read various Squid FAQs etc but to no avail. They keep talking about an /errors directory which I don't seem to have. Any help / tips would be great. TIA Dave Turnbull ICT Technician The Purbeck School www.purbeck.dorset.sch.uk

It always resolves to the host it is at - so if you are sat at a client Windows PC, http://127.0.0.1/ will try to get the page from itself. Depending on what services are running (e.g. personal web server) you will either receive content or get an error message. To access the Apache server on the Linux box you will need to use it's IP address, or using some form of name resolution (private DNS, LMHOSTS etc) use it's machine name. >came up or the links but on reflection I think it was the files from Dialnet's >root?

squid again
by ptaylor 28 Sep '00

Thanks Giles: I believe that I installed Apache from tar. but Squid was set up already. Btw I am using SuSE 6.4. I have just been on the Apache site and I think that it may have been working but I was not aware. This leads to your other question. The school is using Dialnet so I am going through them. The (our) proxy is set up on http port 80 with the workstations listening through 8080. I set up Apache without any problems i.e /etc/apache....start and then went to a workstation and entered http://127.0.0.1/. I didn't recognise the file that came up or the links but on reflection I think it was the files from Dialnet's root? It was a Windows proxy html and I think I have seen it pre-Linux proxy days when the dialnet connection died. If Apache is grabbing their root file, what am I doing wrong? I have the defaults for root directory etc. for my machine but it is obviously going to theirs. Or is it? The default html in root directory, or htdocs is the SuSE one but I have not seen that one. I switched off Apache until I can investigate more. Would it help to send my attempt at httpd.conf? Paul

Squid +
by ptaylor 28 Sep '00

28 Sep '00

Hi All: I have successfully set up Squid on our system and it is working very well. However, at present the school intranet (not to the outside world just yet) is on another server and kids go through the proxy to get to it. I am now trying to have Apache on the same Linux box so that I can transfer the html files to the Linux box and have both the intra and internet on the same machine. It is proving troublesome though. I have Apache running but it seems to interfere with Squid (I am doing something wrong). If it is possible to have them both working, can someone let me know. Also, if someone could send me an example httpd.conf file it would be much appreciated. I have some eager year 12 students who are working on the "new" site before we go into the outside world and the network manager does not want them to have access to the existing web server as it is his Win 2000 machine. I would like to give them access to the gci and htdocs bin so that they can work on it through a win 95 workstation anywhere in the school. Additional information will be provided if need be. Cheers, Paul

OT: List admin - bounces and rejects
by kevin.taylor＠powerconv.alstom.com 27 Sep '00

27 Sep '00

Hi, Is it possible to stop bounced or rejected emails being sent back to the original senders ? This does not happen (as far as I am aware) on any other mailing lists I am part of. I have just received an email that my previous post (about kaptain) contained banned or offensive material from some schools server (stbenets.rmplc.co.uk) (unnerved me for a while there, especially as I am sending from my work account :-) I have also received bounced messages in the past too ... (actually, this is a personal data thing isn't it ? I now know several people that are subscribed to the list who may never have posted ... just because their server rejected an email for some reason) Just wondering. If it can't be changed, no matter. Kevin.

OK, I'll say a bit about this, and then because its approaching extreme off-topicness we'll stop at some point soon before it becomes religious :) > I am on around 30 lists. Only two have an explicit reply-to set. On this account I'm on three lists, two of them have the explicit Reply-to: set, go figure. > On both of them I have managed to send personal reply messages to > the whole list. You should need to think *before* you send to the > whole list, rather than to send to one person. IMHO you should think before you send email full stop ;) Arguments for the use of "Reply to:" are as follows, with varying degrees of usefulness and in no particular order: -- It makes it easy to participate on mailing lists using iffy email clients, such as the webmail interface I'm on now. At the moment in order to reply to the mailing list rather than to the sender I need to mess around with the address book or cut and paste. -- It stops people clicking "Reply all" in order to send an email to the list, for example I received two copies of your last email, one to me and one via the list. -- The opposite of the "personal email to the list" problem occurs, when you click "reply" and send an email to the list, only to realise afterwards it just went to the person who sent the email you were replying to. -- I'm not sure what it means as far as error messages go, they may go to the list, which would be fatal, depends on the other headers AFAIK. Hmm, not that convincing, and YMMV to quite an extent. I think in the end the arguments are subjective enough that it's up to the listmaster.
