- 1 Requirements
- 2 Installation
- 1 Configuration
- 3 Sources
Requirements
- PHP 4.1.0 or higher
- Squid proxy server 2.6 or higher
- Apache web server
- Browser preferably Firefox or Iceweasel
Installation
Obviously have all the indicated requirements working, then download the script from: ‘
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqstat
- Unzip in the default path / var / www / html / sqstat or where it has been specified in apache, if there is a need to change it, just edit the configuration file /var/httpd/conf/httpd.conf in DocumentRoot “/ var / www / html”
Setting
To configure sqstat, copy and rename the config.inc.php.defaults file to config.inc.php, then edit the config.inc.php file and specify the ip of the squid proxy server plus the port.
- $ use_js = true;
- DEFINE (“SQSTAT_SHOWLEN”, 60);
- $ squidhost [0] = “127.0.0.1”;
- $ squidport [0] = 3128;
- $ cachemgr_passwd [0] = “”;
- $ resolveip [0] = false;
- $ hosts_file [0] = “hosts”
- $ group_by [0] = “host”;
The host line works for squid 2.6 or higher, a file called host will be created and in it the user’s ip plus the name is placed Ex:
- 168.100.1 INFORMATICS
- 168.100.2 ADDRESS
- 168.100.3 RHUMANS
Then edit the squid.conf file and add or modify the following:
- acl manager proto cache_object
- acl webserver src 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.255
- http_access allow manager webserver
- http_access deny manager
The previous lines of squid come by default uncommented the acl of proto cache_object and its respective http_acces, for this reason it should not be written again, the squid proxy server will fail.
Then from any user on the network or from the administration pc, enter the address (or the one specified).
