Hi!

There may be two problems
1. Are you sure you want to set IP as 172.0.0.1 and not 127.0.0.1 ?
2. If yes, you have not added acl for 172.0.0.1 to allow http_access.

Please check these points and get back if it doesn't work yet.

Thank you for considering videocache :)

Hi!

Problem with Apache serving the videos. Try browsing http://127.0.0.1/videocache/ . You should be able to browse it. There should be directories corresponding to websites. And in youtube you'll see some videos. If you get some error, check /var/log/httpd/error_log for proper errors.

Hi Dank,

Please run the videocache update script as

[root@localhost ~]# update-vc

or

[root@localhost ~]# /usr/sbin/update-vc

Then restart squid server. And try browsing. It should work fine.

Thank you for using videocache :)

Hello Dank,

Congratulations!!

I can't really say anything about the disk space issue right now. But I am looking forward for a autocleanup utility in future versions of videocache.

Thank you for using videocache :)
