3. Give access rights to the partition squidnya

code
# chown squid:squid /cache 



4. Edit the squid.conf file, the cache_dir, change its path to / cache, the other parameters do not need

5. Create swap Squid

code
# squid -z 



6. Login webconfig, adjust the parameters, but remember, the maximum cache size should not
maximized until the cache volume, make it 75% only, eg / Cache = 12GB, maximum
cache sizenya = 9GB
7. Run squid and set it to automatic re-loaded so that if a server restart. activate
