RE: [squid-users] Squid 3.4.6 is not caching anything

Hi,

Sadly I have deleted my access.log files - and have rolled back to Squid
3.1, and caching is working perfectly. I still need to upgrade to Squid
3.4.6 sometime soon for the sslbump feature. I tried with the djmaza.info
site with the Squid 3.4.6, and nothing is cached. I am going to try and set
up a testing Squid 3.4.6 server this weekend and will reply to this message
if I am still having problems with caching.

Hey Liam,

If you can run a test on the access.log it would supply a bit more
information without intruding to the url level:
cat access.log |awk '{print $4}'|sort|uniq -c

The result will be a tiny statistics about the "character" of your usage.
Since browsers tends to cache content them-self sometimes that cache is
giving you something you cannot just see by looking for a "HIT" in this form
or another.

I remember that most squid analytical tools are testing for "HIT"
objects ignoring all other sides of the cache.
If you have tried djmaza as I suggested and you have not seen a single HIT
when surfing it there is indeed something strange.
I myself use squid 3.4.5 and I do see that there is not HIGH rate of HITs
but I do understand why it can happens and sometimes even understand why it
happens.

Once you will have the results of the access.log parsing we will be smarter.
