Topic: Squid problem with Folding@Home - solution!

[smeghead]

Hi all

Just a quick heads up.

My Folding@Home was having difficulty submitting some of its results back to its originating server.  A bit of research on the F@H forums found the following info.

Squid uses a directive called: request_body_max_size to specify the maximum size for an HTTP request body.  This is also known as the maximum size of a PUT/POST request.

Some of the larger F@H data packets exceed the default setting within SME so I just made a template fragment in /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf called 65RequestBodySize and put the following line inside:  request_body_max_size 5 MB

Regen the template, restart squid, and all is now cool and froody.

HTH

I have been having that problem as well, I'm glad that you have the answer, we can't let the [H]ord win

I'll create that template right away.

Cheers
