So, I setup my first Squid 3.0STABLE9 proxy in HTTP accelerator mode
over the weekend. Squid 3 is running on the same machine as the web
server and here are my HTTP acceleration related config options:

http_port 80 accel vhost
cache_peer 192.168.1.19 parent 8085 0 no-query originserver login=PASS

Here are the cache related options:

cache_mem 64 MB
maximum_object_size_in_memory 50 KB
cache_replacement_policy heap LFUDA
cache_dir aufs /mnt/drive3/squid-cache 500 32 256

As described in this mailing list thread:

http://www2.gr.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/199906/0756.html

all of the entries in my store.log have RELEASE as the action:

1223864638.986 RELEASE -1 FFFFFFFF A1FE29E96A44936155BB873BDC882B12 200
1223864638 -1 375007920 text/html 2197/2197 GET
http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/locations/

Here is a snipet from the cache.log file:

2008/10/12 21:24:38| Squid Cache (Version 3.0.STABLE9): Exiting normally.

I'm running on RedHat EL 5. With Squid running, I can access the
website just fine and pages load without problems or issues. It's just
nothing is being cached.

This is my first time configuring Squid as a HTTP accelerator so I
probably missed something when I set it up. Any ideas on what might be
wrong?

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance! :)

Peace...

Tom
