To setup the database, run the following command as the statistics user (generally "squid") : # su -m squid -c "%%PREFIX%%/bin/squidstats.pl createdb" Then, add a configuration section to squid.conf to allow SNMP from localhost: # snmp config acl snmp_host src 127.0.0.1 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0 snmp_port 3401 acl snmppublic snmp_community public snmp_access allow snmppublic snmp_host snmp_access deny all Then make sure the following line is added to the squid crontab: */5 * * * * %%PREFIX%%/bin/squidstats.pl gather 2>/dev/null Next, the supplied graph.css file will need to be copied or symlinked from %%PREFIX%%/share/squidstats/htdocs/graph.css to wherever your webserver root is. Finally, you will need to ensure that the graph directory and cgi-bin script are in the right place. By default, the cgi script is installed in %%PREFIX%%/www/cgi-bin/ and the graph directory is in /var/db/squidstats/graphs; you will need to copy the graph script into the correct place and symlink the graph directory into your webserver root directory. For example, this will symlink the graph directory into the apache 1.x web root: # ln -s /var/db/squidstats/graphs /usr/local/www/data/
