hi,
I have installed cent 5 in my system .Squid 2.6 is by default in it. I want to compile delay_pools feature in squid.
Normally we download source code file in tar.gz format ,uncompressed it and then install it. If we want to compile any thing we can also do it.

Here in my case there is already squid installed during installation process of cent os 5. Kindly guide that how can I compile my current installed squid ?
thanks in advance.

Hello,

You cannot (re)compile an installed application such as Squid AFAIK. What you can do is uninstall completely the Squid you have installed, backup your config before that, download, compile and install Squid with the options you need and configure (copy and change where necessary your backup config file).

Kind regards,

Eric

thanks "EricTRA" for your reply. Well it mean I have to download the source code file smile. Ok as you mentioned in your post about Squid AFAIK.Kindly can you explain what mean by squid AFAIK ?

well if i open my vi /etc/squid/squid.conf I can see the option delay_pools inside it.So if the option is available why these are not working? Is there any utility by which i can check the which TAG in squid are enable ? Like if we discuss about delay pools then even i write my code it will not work because it is not compiled ! what you say about it ?
thanks
