hi all!
silly me again...i've been asked by my lecturer ( again) to install squid as a proxy server in the experimental server (linux redhat)i'm working on....i've compiled and installed it, but i dont quite understand how the thing really works...anyway, my question is:
the server has a non-internet ip ( there's a firewall between it and the internet), but i want to test the cache /proxy server with client..basically, i just wanna test if the installation's successful and if squid is really up and running....how can i do this without changing the ip?And another thing, I've checked the access.log after testing out some commands, but found it totally empty. Is this normal? I've read the documentation in the squid homepage, but i think i need a lil more hint...can somebody gimme a hint or other documentations,maybe?
thanks a lot in advance..you all have been so helpful
p/s: i tried this command :
client -h cache1.domain.example -p 3128

but i got the error message:
client: ERROR: Cannot connect to cache1.domain.example:3128: No such file or directory
