Expert: Aaron Gray

Subject: Howto Clean out Squid cache
Question
how do I clean out Squid Proxy cache?
If I bypass Squid I can get to anywhere on the net.. If using Squid.. some pages are not reachable.
Thanks ... John
Answer
There might be a more proper way of doing things, and if you find out I'd love to hear it :)
The way I do it is i stop squid, go in to the cache directory, remove everything! (rm -rf *), then start squid with the -z option. You're good to go
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid stop
# cd /var/spool/squid
# rm -rf *
# /usr/sbin/squid -z
(you'll see something like "2008/09/05 16:02:21| Creating Swap Directories"
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid start
Your paths will probably be different but the same idea...
