Hi !

Well done on creating an excellent product ! It works great !
Here is my config:
Slackware Linux 7.1
Apache 1.3.14
Squirm 1.0betaB
Squid 2.3Stable4
Viralator 0.8

Everything works great, I'm so impressed I wrote a step-by-step install guide for anyone that needs it, maybe it will be useful on your site ?

Well done, please let me know if I have done anything incorrectly ! ;-)
Thanks

Kindest regards
David Wilson


Installing Viralator antivirus scanner for Squid using Squirm
Please note that your virus scanner must be installed already ! (I used Mcaffee uvscan).

Squid

1) Get Squid from http://www.squid-cache.org
2) tar -zxvf squid-x.tar.gz
3) cd squid-x
4) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/squid
5) make
6) make install
7) groupadd squid
8) useradd -g squid -s /dev/null squid
9) mkdir /cache
10) chown -R squid:squid /usr/local/squid/logs
11) chown -R squid:squid /cache
12) pico /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf and set the following values
cache_dir /cache 2000 16 256 (2000 means 2gig for cache storage).
http_port 8080
http_access allow all
cache_effective_user squid
cache_effective_group squid
13) ln -s /usr/local/squid/bin/squid /bin/squid
14) squid -z
15) /usr/local/squid/bin/RunCache &
16) Add "/usr/local/squid/bin/RunCache &" to /etc/rc.d/rc.local to start Squid automatically on reboot.

Apache

1) Get Apache from http://www.apache.org
2) tar -zxvf apache-x.tar.gz
3) cd apache-x
4) groupadd viralator
5) useradd -g viralator -s /dev/null viralator
6) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-suexec --suexec-caller=nobody
7) make
8) make install
9) ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl /bin/apachectl
10) apachectl start
11) Add "/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start" to /etc/rc.d/rc.local to start Apache automatically on reboot.

Squirm

1) Get Squirm from http://www.senet.com.au/squirm/

6) make
7) cp -p regex.o regex.h .. (Note the ".." !)
8) cd ..
9) pico Makefile and make sure that the specific files will be installed with user=squid and group=squid (Default).
10) make

14) cp squirm.patterns.dist squirm.patterns

192.168.0
18) pico /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf and add the following values:
redirect_program /usr/local/squirm/bin/squirm
