Re: [squid-users] use of cachemgr.cgi

cachemgr.cgi may be installed on any HTTP server.

However, if the HTTP server is running another OS (or OS version) than
your Squid server then you quite likely will need to recompile it for the
web server OS.

See also the manager access controls in squid.conf. The default config
only allows cachemgr.cgi to access Squid from "localhost".
