Time for action – configuring Apache to use cachemgr.cgi

To complete this task quickly we need to put the following lines in a file named squid-cachemgr.conf and then move that file to our Apache installation's conf.d directory (which is generally /etc/httpd/conf.d/ or /etc/apache2/conf.d/).

ScriptAlias /Squid/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi /opt/squid/libexec/cachemgr.cgi

# Only allow access from localhost by default
<Location /Squid/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi>
 order allow,deny
 allow from localhost
 # If we want to allow access to cache manager from 192.0.2.25,
 # uncomment the following line
 # allow from 192.0.2.25
 # Add additional allowed hosts as needed
 # allow from .example.com
</Location>

Once we have copied these lines in to a file called squid-cachemgr.conf and moved that file to the appropriate directory, we need to restart or reload the Apache Web server using the following command:

$ apachectl graceful
