Re: [squid-users] Squid Doubts

Hi Amos ;

  Thank you very much for answering my queries :All answers were informative :

 I found my squid.conf says cache is /var/squid/cache , I found those
in that location

sorry for asking that question without checking my squid.conf :

Thanks a lot for the time spent & the prompt answers you have given to me .

warm regards
KK
