Hi,
I have searched the current threads but have been unable to find a clear explaination on how to change the www and squid ports.
Currently my system is set to the defaults, however my current network users are using port 80. I want to be able to change the squid proxy to 80 from 3128 and the www port to 880 from 80.
Any hints, help would be greatful.
Regards
Shaun

A contrib by Charly Bradie exists to do just that. It's called Transproxy and takes care of redirecting port 80 directly into squid, so your users don't even have to specify a proxy in their browser configs.

Unfortunalty that will not work in my network. I have two connections to the internet, one goes out the DMZ but only has a 64kb international internet pipe. The other uses a satallite download, ISDN upload giving 700kb+ download. I want the majority of users to use the sat connection to the internet, for this I'm required to set their proxy.

Shaun,
Take a look at this link for changing your Proxy port from 3128 to something else.
http://www.lth5.k12.il.us/e-smith/tips.htm
Note: In step 2, you should probably make the change in the templates-custom directory, rather than the templates directory. SO, step 2 should actually read:
"mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf"
"cd /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/squid/squid.conf"
And continue from there.
I haven't tried changing the www port, but I suspect the process will be similar. I'll outline what I would try:
1. Create a custom template for httpd.conf
("mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf")
2. Search the template fragments of /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf for the fragment that specifies something like "Listen 80"
3. Copy that fragment to your custom diretory and make any necessary changes.
4. restart httpd - ("service httpd restart")
Hope this helps,
Abe
