Post by: gregswallow on February 20, 2006, 04:38:56 AM: There may be a better way. Have a look at this:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-isp/2004/07/msg00041.html

Googling for refresh_pattern windowsupdate gives lots of results.

If you're interested in testing this please raise a New Feature Request bug for SME Future in the bug tracker.

Post by: stocky on February 20, 2006, 05:06:58 AM: Great! Fantastic!
Hows does one make use of that....????

I am *trying* to learn my way around the beast we know & love as SME, but as n00b struggle when faced with:

# refresh patterns to enable caching of MS windows update
refresh_pattern http://.*\.windowsupdate\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern http://office\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern http://windowsupdate\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims

# the next two can be rewritten as one regexp, which should also match other
# SP versions.
#refresh_pattern http://wxpsp2\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
#refresh_pattern http://xpsp1\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern http://w?xpsp[0-9]\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims

# ditto for the next one.
#refresh_pattern http://w2ksp4\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern http://w2ksp[0-9]\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims

refresh_pattern http://download\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims

# and some other windows updaters
refresh_pattern http://download\.macromedia\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern ftp://ftp\.nai\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern http://ftp\.software\.ibm\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims

:cry:

whilst learning, having a contrib to look at and pull apart is very useful. Having some more advanced tools (eg to config proxy & firewall) would sure help me learn more about the beast, coz right at the moment, its all dutch to me!

:-D

I have installed it on sme7pre4 and found a showstopper bug during the install.

After modifying one line of the httpd.conf file all appears to be ok.

I extracted the files in the .rpm file and *think* I know what needs to be changed - is this the best way to carry on? I quite like the server-manager panel and the options it provides - would it be a good idea to allow admin's to enter their own additional sites?

Cheers,
Bart

Post by: Franco on April 23, 2007, 02:49:01 PM: This bug is closed in the bugtracker, any news on this?
This would be a nice addition.
Title: Windows update cache for SME7?
Post by: BartManInNZ on April 23, 2007, 11:44:14 PM: It is closed as the contrib is for 6.0 only and the original developer and website have disappeared.
I have installed the following contrib: smeserver-squid_cache_mgt-1.0-2.noarch.rpm (http://www.vanhees.cc/index.php?name=CmodsDownload&file=index&req=viewsdownload&sid=62)

And by increasing cache size and object size have found this works fine and without issues.

Post by: mmccarn on April 24, 2007, 02:12:24 PM: What did you use for cache size and object size?
Title: Windows update cache for SME7?
Post by: BartManInNZ on April 24, 2007, 10:27:43 PM: From the config. form:
Squid cache size in MB     30000     ufs
Squid cache path    /var/spool/squid
Number of first level directories    16
Number of second level directories    256
Max cached size object    10    MB
Maximum request headers size         KB
Maximum cache time    4    week

So cache size of 30GB and object size of10MB.

Current proxy usage and hit rate is as follows:
Wednesday, 25 April 2007    122.40M     15%
Tuesday, 24 April 2007    2269.75M    18%
Monday, 23 April 2007 1710.19M    12%
Sunday, 22 April 2007 724.11M    10%

Currently we are using 9.3GB of the cache, to improve the hit rate we may increase the object size but for now we are happy with its performance.

Post by: Franco on April 25, 2007, 01:25:53 PM: Increasing object size is not desired, only if comes from certain domains. Some people have reported success using this contrib on SME7.
