Subject:Â_ [squid-users] can not connect to cache manager
Date:Â_ 12 Nov 2003 07:12:01 -0500
Hello, I am very new to squid & Linux in general.Â_ This past weekend I
got a very simple squid to work & I was also able to connect to cache
manager that was on the same RH9 box.Â_ When I attempted to add my other
subnetwork 192.168.2.1 (192.168.1.1 was working O.K.) I could not
connect to cache manager anymore.Â_ I deleted all of the changes (I
think), but I still can not connect.Â_ I have read about how to do this,
but alas, there must be something that I don't understand/have right.
TIA


this is the error message I get when I connect to

http://matrix1:10000/squid/cachemgr.cgi

(matrix1 = my localhost)

Cache Manager Error


connect: (111) Connection refused

bump for reply

If you have your squid server on your firewall you should set you Proxy address to keep others from wasting your resources and keep other from listening on your port, I used the 192.168.0.254 as my Webmin local address and port 3128.

Then change your proxy restriction from (allow manager localhost) to (allow manager “myaddress”)

myaddress should be what ever you have for your local address. In your case

acl myaddress src 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24

Then when you click on Cache Manager Statistics and it asks for an address make that what you address to the squid server.

This should help.

I just do what roinin said.. .. thanks roinin..
