how to flush website from squid cache

[JazzyB]

Dear All

I need to know about how i can flush some particular website entries from my squid cache. Like i have website which has news section in it. my proxy is showing me yesterdays website index page but if i bypass squid and browse website directly through router, my browser show me last updated page.
Is there any possibility that squid always get latest page against that website or squid donot cache that website or is there any process in squid that clear website entries from cache.

Thanks

if you have messed with your refresh entries, change them back to the defaults.

yes, it's possible.

Code: Select all

acl ignoresites dstdomain .bbc.co.uk .cnn.com news.google.com.pk
no_cache deny ignoresites

Acl working. Can you tell me one more thing. how can i check whether i am getting web page and all its contents from squid cache or from hosted server. Is there any command.

look in the logs when you try to load a page from the site. if you see a HIT, it's from the cache.

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log |grep HIT

better yet, use this script.
