[users@httpd] Problems with Apache 2.2.0 as a conventional proxy
Hi,
After years of frustration with Squid, I'm now using 32-bit Apache 2.2.0 as a
caching web proxy for my group. The underlying OS is 64-bit Solaris 10 running
on Opteron.
My initial configuration attempt was
$ ./configure --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-connect --enable-proxy-ftp \
--enable-proxy-http --enable-ssl --enable-file-cache \
--prefix=/aux0/apache2 --enable-cache --enable-disk-cache
--enable-mem-cache --enable-deflate
<IfModule mod_cache.c>
<IfModule mod_disk_cache.c>
CacheRoot /cache/apache
CacheEnable disk /
CacheDirLevels 5
CacheDirLength 3
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_mem_cache.c>
CacheEnable mem /
MCacheSize 40960
MCacheMaxObjectCount 10000
MCacheMinObjectSize 1
MCacheMaxObjectSize 20480
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
However, I've encountered two distinct problems; I'm hoping for help
with these. Please don't send me back to Squid.
- I see a lot of httpd's dying on SEGVs; depending on which modules
I enable or disable, the stack traces change. I'm now running apache
under libumem[1] with the debugging features turned on. I'm seeing
crashes in cache_remove() [2].
- I've hit the text/css vs. text/plain bug which seems to have bothered
other users. I've reviewed existing docs on this problem, including:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Incorrect_MIME_Type_for_CSS_Files
http://birdhouse.org/blog/2004/11/11/mime-vexation/#more-1379
and others. But I have yet to find a clear solution, and
the problem seems to be sporadic. It was especially noticeable
to my users when www.sun.com wasn't displaying correctly :)
Time permitting I'll try to find the cause of the crashing; at the
moment it seems to me that disabling all of the caching helps-- but that
seems to defeat the point of running a "web cache."
Thanks for your help,

Posted by Dan Price <dp...@eng.sun.com>.
So, I've gotten no responses (except to ask about Squid) to this query
which I posted on Monday. Can someone please point me in the right
direction? Should I start filing bugs? Contact a different list?
