Major downloading problem!
« on: July 20, 2006, 02:35:30 PM »
Hi,

I'm running ver 6.01 in a school setting.  We were having trouble sending an upload, so I used the following information and changed the upload size which worked great:

Raising the http upload size in squid
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf

Place template fragment into temlplate directory:

echo "request_body_max_size 20 MB" > /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf/85request_body_max_size

Expand (activate) Template:

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

Restart squid to enable new settings:

/etc/init.d/squid restart


Now the problem is that it seems to have also changed my download limit, and I can't figure out why, nor where to try to repair it.  We're running mostly Windows machines from this server, and they, of course, need almost constant updating -- the XP's are fine, but the 98's get to the update page, see what's needed, and then we get "error -- your network administrator has limited the download size -- updates cannot continue" (that's actually paraphrased, regardless of the quotes)

I have users coming in who need to work with web based programs that require large amts of info to download -- HELP?

That may be what you need

I think it's in the 6.x FAQ too.
