[Ziproxy-users] Installation problems?

[Knute J. <li...@sa...>]

I'm trying to install Ziproxy on my RH 9 box.  I've got the following 
file in xinetd.d:

service ziproxy
{
         port                    = 8080
         socket_type             = stream
         wait                    = no
         user                    = root
         server                  = /var/ziproxy-1.2b/ziproxy
         log_on_success          += USERID
         log_on_failure          += USERID
         disable                 = no
}

I put the statically compiled ziproxy in /var/ziproxy-1.2b and the 
following ziproxy.conf as well:

#Example ziproxy.conf

#netd options
WhereZiproxy = "/var/ziproxy-1.2b/ziproxy"
Port = 8080
OnlyFrom = "127.0.0.1"
NetdTimeout = 240


#this will append bzipped logging output to file named DDD-YYYY.log.bz2
#LogPipe only compatible with netd!
#LogPipe ={"bzip2", "-9cq", "-"}
LogFile = "%j-%Y.log.bz2"

#ziproxy options
ZiproxyTimeout = 120
MaxSize = 4194304
UseContentLength = false

#Substrings for Compressible data types under application/. Matches with
#leading "x-" too.
Compressible = {
         "shockwave", "msword", "msexcel", "mspowerpoint", "rtf", 
"postscript",
         "java", "javascript", "staroffice", "vnd.", "futuresplash",
         "asp", "class", "font", "truetype-font", "php", "cgi", 
"executable",
         "shellscript", "perl", "python", "awk", "dvi"
}

#75 is standard quality of JPEG images.
ImageQuality = {25,25,25,25}    #note - low numbers just for testing

I added this line to /etc/services:

ziproxy		8080/tcp


I'm trying to test it by running a browser on the machine that Ziproxy 
is running on.  Ultimately it will be on a dedicated machine between the 
dialup and the caching proxy.  This machine has internet access and gets 
its DNS from a remote machine.  That is set up in the network 
configuration of the machine.  When I point my browsers proxy 
configuration to the 127.0.0.1 it works only if I give it numeric 
addresses.  If it has to resolve a named address I get a pink page with 
404 Not Found / Unknown Host / ziproxy.

I'm obviously missing something here but I'm not sure what it is.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
