Squid + Adzapper + VideoCache <--- not working

I had tried many ways to have wrapzap or zapchain to work, none of them ever work, I cannot get videocache and adzapper work. If I get the videocache to work the adzapper is not working.

exec /usr/bin/zapchain "$zapper" "$videocache"

When I remove the videocache line, my adzapper work, but when I put it back, my adzapper is not working. Can anyone enlighten me.

I suspect these lines:

url_rewrite_access deny videocache_deny_url
url_rewrite_access allow videocache_allow_url
url_rewrite_access allow videocache_allow_dom

cause your trouble, if what you see is no zapped ads.

I imagine that in a purely-videocache install, these lines pass only
specific URLs to the video cache redirector plugin, so that most URLs
pass happily by the cache and are accessed normally.

However, by using these lines with the zapchain stuff you are also arranging
that non-video URLs do not pass through the adzapper either. And so the
zapper doesn't see anything. (Well, it will see videos, but it will be
leaving them alone.)

You should try commenting out ALL the "acl videocache_*" lines and the
three url_rewrite_access lines above.

Cameron Simpson,

Very nicely illustrated. I agree with your point. Though I have never used adzapper personally but whatever you have pointed out makes sense.

I hope this will help mynullvoid fix his problem.

Thank You!

Yes, Cameron Simpson had save my day.... I guess many of us who use adzapper also find this as solution to our problem. Thank you guys
