Is that possible to install squid cache on same server(web server). Or I need two servers like one for squid cache and one for web-server. Please explain it for me , I am little bit confused with this. And what are the minimum hardware requirements for Squid cache to work properly.

BTW thanks to write this article.

you can stop the squid service, move the log file and create a new empty log file then restart squid again.

you can also configure squid to put its log file on another partition so it doesn’t fill up your C: drive

not sure if this might work, but from squid’s man page this is the command to reload the config:

squid.exe -k reconfigure

yes it should work, first you have to make sure that the windows server can access the internet. then you have to make sure all the clients can connect to the internet through the windows server. only after that you can install squid on the windows server and then setup the proxy settings on client’s PC

Hi,
first of all let me apologize for my English school …
I configured my squid on a W2K8 and works fine, but filled the C: partition and noticed that I have many GB of log files in google I saw that the log files can be automatically split could help me figure out how?
