install videocache on squid3 and ubuntu 8.04

Marom,

Please check the block "Videocache Hacks" in the left sidebar!

Thank You!

how about this script at squid.conf??
==> url_rewrite_program /usr/bin/python /etc/squid/youtube_cache/youtube_cache.py

whereas in the directory / etc / squid no folders youtube_cache

I've bought a video cache bundle, but no youtube-cache.tar.gz

Marom,

Youtube Cache has been renamed to Videocache. So, you receive videocache-x.x-x.tar.gz in videocache bundle.

That is an old howto I think. Please try this for an updated version of howto.

If you still face problems, please reply back in forum.

Thank You!

there are no error when execute update-vc and reload squid and apache.

there are any file must i configure again admin???

thanxs for reply

Marom,

You don't have to make the special directory yourself. You just specify it as base_dir and run update-vc and videocache will create the necessary directories itself. Now since you have created one, please remove the existing directory and run update-vc again and reload httpd and squid services after that.

Thank You!

admin, I do not understand what you mean. I made a special direktory /cache of 100GB for the video directory cache. and I want the cache files are stored located there. how to configure this videocache? and one more, when I use the opera browser on the server's log videocache but can not play at the opera. thanks

Marom,

Run update-vc after changing videocache.conf . For opera, check your proxy settings in browser.

Thank You!

i have check proxy setting in opera and internet explorer, there are default configuration because i use transparent proxy..

i have check proxy setting in opera and internet explorer, there are default configuration because i use transparent proxy.. but the browser ( opera and IE) still can't play video cache??

one more, i after edit /etc/videocache.conf and run update-vc, reload apache2 and squid.. but it's not working??? the log its ok but can't served from cache..

Marom,

You don't tend to supply enough information which can help me track the problem. You just say "its not working". What does that mean? Please contact me using the contact form.

Thank You!
