Topic: Edit the /etc/squid/squid.conf file

[supershark]

Hi

I would like to edit the /etc/squid/squid.conf to customize the acl's on squid but it states that i cannot edit it. It says i need to edit the file in the templates-custom directory. I had a look at the development guide but i didnt understand it.

i could not find the squid.conf file in the stated folder

could somebody please tell me how this is done?

Any help would be gladdly appricieted

Thanks

If it's not there then create it like...

mkdir –p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf/

then touch a new file you want to modify for example...

20ACL00all

and any others you may need which I know you will need to modify also...

40http_access
75AllowLocal

As I have done some custom work on acl's

once you done your changes just run at command line...

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/squid/squid.conf

then restart the squid service as normal.
