CACHEMGR.CGI(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual	       CACHEMGR.CGI(8)

NAME
     cachemgr.cgi - HTML management interface to Squid cache

DESCRIPTION
     cachemgr.cgi provides an HTML interface to examine statistics kept by
     Squid. A facility is also provided to shutdown the cache (with password
     protection) or refresh an object.

     cachemgr.cgi should be installed on a machine that runs an HTTP daemon
     and that has administrative access to the cache.  Administrative access
     to the cache is configured via ACLs in /var/www/conf/squid.conf, by de-
     fault squid is configured to allow access only from the local machine.

     To use the shutdown facility an account called ``squid'' must exist on
     the machine where squid is running and you must supply the password for
     this account.  Note that this password is passed in the clear.

FILES
     /var/www/conf/squid.conf  Squid configuration file, defines access rights
			       for cachemgr.cgi.

EXAMPLES
     To configure Apache so that the URL:

	   http://www.yourdomain.com/squid-status

     may be used to access a cachemgr.cgi installed in the default location,
     /var/www/squid/bin/cachemgr.cgi. Add the following to httpd.conf:

	   ScriptAlias /squid-status /var/www/squid/bin/cachemgr.cgi

SEE ALSO
     client(8),	 squid(8),  squid.conf(5)

Bugs
     The user (``squid'') whose password is checked when shutting down the
     cache is compiled in.

     No mechanism is provided for starting the cache.
