Configure nginx with squid!
May 06, 2012 07:58AM
I have a requirement to configure nginx with squid. I have a vps with squid running on port 8080 and nginx on port 80.

Nginx acts as a cahe for an internal server. However I need squid also to be accessible in the same port, which is technically impossible.

So this is what I tried to do:

1) Configured squid to run on 8080 (by the way squid is working properly)
2) Configure nginx to send traffic to squid if incoming domain name ends with .com

Problem: it doesn't work. It just show thee squid home page as if squid is directly called in browser.

My nginx configuration:

server {
listen 80;
server_name *.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache STATIC;
proxy_cache_valid 200 1d;
proxy_cache_use_stale error timeout invalid_header updating
http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504;

}
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name bvm.glibix.com;

location / {
proxy_pass http://exmaple.org/;
proxy_set_header Host example.org;
proxy_cache STATIC;
proxy_cache_valid 200 1d;
proxy_cache_use_stale error timeout invalid_header updating
http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504;
}
}

Anyone has any idea how to do this? My requirement is simple. I should be able to access squid or my website using the same ip and port. What is served should be based on the domain name used in the browser. If i try to go to bvm.glibix.com (in the browser) it should show http://example.org content (this is working), and if i enter any other .com, it should route those requests to squid (not working) so that both can be done on the same port.
