Edit the config file directly rather than using this configuration
screen.
Proxy hostname
The hostname for the proxy server.
Proxy home directory
The home directory in which to run the httpd proxy.
Port number
The port number for the proxy server. This is usually port 80
but can be set to any available port.
User Name
A username, defined to the operating system on the firewall, for the
proxy to run in.
Group Name
A group name, defined to the operating system on the firewall, for
the proxy to run in.
Access log filename
The filename of the access log file. This can be an absolute
pathname or a relative pathname or just a filename in which case, the file
will be in the Proxy home directory
.
Error log filename
The filename of the error log file. This can be an absolute pathname
or a relative pathname or just a filename in which case, the file will
be in the Proxy home directory
.
File to contain PID number
The filename of the PID file. This file will hold the process
id for the running apache httpd server. This file can be used to
signal the running httpd. For example,
kill -HUP `cat /etc/apache/httpd.pid`
can be used to refresh the httpd server (assuming Proxy
home directory is set to /etc/apache and File
to contain PID number is set to httpd.pid.
Hostname lookup
Indicates whether DNS is to be used to look up hostnames for logging
purposes. Turn hostname lookup off for faster response.
On - turn on DNS host lookup
Off - turn off DNS host lookup
Double - turn on double reverse DNS host lookup (Use the incoming IP
address to lookup its hostname and then use the hostname to lookup its
IP address and check that the IP address matches the incoming IP address)
Number of processes on startup
Specifies the number of child processes to create on startup.
Minimum number of idle processes
Specifies the desired minimum number of idle child processes.
If fewer idle processes are detected, the apache httpd proxy server creates
new child processes at a maximum rate of 1 per second.
Maximum number of idle processes
Specifies the desired maximum number of idle child processes.
If more idle processes are detected, the apache httpd proxy server kills
off excess child processes.
Maximum number of processes
Specifies the maximum number of child processes. This sets a
limit on the number of child processes that can be created.
Maximum re-use per process
Specifies the maximum number of requests that an individual child process
will handle. After this number of requests, a child process will
expire.
Cache directory
Specifies the directory where the cache files should reside.
Cache size in kilobytes
Specifies the the size of the cache in kilobytes.
Cache garbage collect interval (hours)
Specifies the interval in hours that the apache httpd proxy server
should check the cache and delete files if space usage is greater than
that set by Cache size .
Sites that should not be cached
Optionally specifies one or more (blank separated) site names
whose documents are not to be cached by the apache httpd proxy server.
Active contents blocking
This is a text area where optional active contents blocking rules can
be specified. Syntax of the rules:
ProxyBlockContent <content_type> [<url_pattern>]
ProxyPermitContent <content_type>
where
<content_type> is Java, Scripts, ActiveX or Cookies
<url_pattern> is a URL string representing sites that this rule
applies to. By default, the rule applies to all sites.
Access permissions
This is a text area where access rules can be specified. The
rules begin with the line
<Directory proxy:*>
followed by one or more "allow statements of the form
allow from <ip_address>[/<ip_mask>]
<ip_address> is an ip address from which requests are allowed
/ separates <ip_address> from <ip_mask>
<ip_mask> is a mask to be applied to an incoming ip address for
comparison
Listen IP:port
ProxyPrivClient IP address
Each line specifies a client IP address which is not subject
to web site blocking. This IP address will be allowed
