Title: transproxy 0.3.1 under 4.1.1
Post by: Allen Rapini on April 04, 2001, 05:35:41 AM

Just restored a 4.1 e-smith box to a 4.1.1. All is well, but after installing transproxy 0.3.1 noarch and restarting the server, and the transparent re-directing is working fine from several workstations.... BUT, the /var/log/squid/access.log is "empty" and not growing when under "tail -f access.log

I KNOW i saw this mentioned, but a search for Charlie's answer came up NFG...

I believe there was a signal event ???  or something that clears this...

Thanks in advance

Allen

BTW - all the talk about putty led me to give it a try... Much nicer than openSSH, although I can't explain why it connects to my RH7 box at home better than openssh...

Are you looking for:

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save

Thanks for getting back Darrell. I am testing via SSH & lynx on the server to e-smith.org of course, and don't see any activity in the access.log even after the /sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save and a remote reboot... I think I should see something, even tho its a "local" lynx client...

In version 4.1, "console-save" doesn't reconfigure everything - it would be much to slow if it did. You need an event which rconfigures and restarts both the packet filter and the squid proxy. Hence, do:

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event network-create

You da' MAN... Thanks, that was exactly right, and all is working correctly now. Thanks again. That one goes in the e-smith notebook as well...
