Mac OS X Server Forward Proxy(Web Caching)...setup a website for the proxy???

My office is a Mac environment with a couple of windows pcs. To save on bandwidth i would like to setup a Mac OS X Snow leopard server with a web caching proxy, forward proxy. I read this link from apple
Server Admin 10.6 Help: Configuring Web Service Proxy Settings
i understand that to set this up i must enable it on my Mac Server and also on the clients(end user) web browser. What i don't understand is this part:
"When setting up a forward proxy, make sure you create and enable a  website for the proxy. You might want to disable logging                      on the proxy site or configure the site to record  its access log in a separate file from your other sites’ access logs.  The                      site does not need to be on port 80 but setting up  web clients is easier if its browsers use port 80 by default."
Create and enable a website for the proxy??? I don't understand, why do i need a website for web caching? Shouldn't the settings in the web browser direct the http requests to the mac server and it does the rest, what has a website got to do with it and what type of website?How?
Please help, thank you in advance

    Firefox any version Mac, has a bug were it does not see or ask for the proxy username and password. This happens if you use a virtual tagged interface. A recent network University policy change. The only way to fix this, is if you use a manual proxy configuration in Firefox. So all 100 + uni iMac's can only use Safari as I would need to do a profile push to all 300 students and I am unsure what file carries the proxy information.

  • Firefox keeps requesting logon credentials for the proxy server, though they are eneterd in the connection settings.

    Every time you go to a new page, Firefox prompts for the proxy server login credentials, this has already been entered in the Network settings in Firefox.

    Hi thefrostycat,
    It could also be the proxy set up on the network. There is an app for proxy settings: [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lechucksoftware.proxy.proxysettings on the play store] as well as an add on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/proxy-selector/?src=search Proxy Selector]

    Thanks for your advice  These apple forums have kept me up and running for years and I really appreciate the time you and others take with me.
    I have followed one of your links to print cnfig in a run box and go down that path  but it would not allow me to exit and restart without choosing quit On restart  there was a cheer of hope from me   apple found in itunes and it showed up in the device and printer window  but after 10 min or so of restore it said it is stuck in recovery and I must fix that issue first
    Yeah  Bite my tongue   did a second restore attemp and it syn'd to my itunes!!   I put on the old tune do you believe in magic  and it is playing!!
    Great Scott   Now I can give it back to my daughter to set up on her account!!

  • Credentials for the proxy

    So, people, are there any way to set the credentials for the proxy server?
    I'm using E60 with v2.0618 firmware. And I wasn't able to find the way to do that. In the access point -> advanced settings dialog you can set only proxy IP address and port. And there is no way to set the credentials
    More over, most applications (and surely all Nokia applications) do not recognize situations when proxy requests login/password and report a connection error.
    There a re very few apps which handle it correctly (like opera/miniOpera).
    Also I wonder if this was changed in v3 firmware for E60.

    I've got the same deal, and apparently the internet proxy option is not available in the Safari 3 for Windows version, despite not mentioning this anywhere.
    So far I've checked:
    The help files (no hits on the word proxy, proxies, etc)
    Under Preferences the Proxies button is grayed out.
    Clicking the '?' next in the Advanced settings tabs lists
    information about every other setting except for proxies
    What's puzzling is that this is one of the very features touted (reason 12 of 12 reasons you'll love Safari):
    "Safari also supports a variety of proxy protocols — services that help firewalls control what flows in and out of the network — including Automatic Proxy configuration, FTP Proxy, Web Proxy (HTTP), Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS), Streaming Proxy (RTSP), SOCKS Proxy, and Gopher Proxy."
    ..apparently just not in the BETA
    Apple, in the future PLEASE include a 'readme' that explains what is and is not included in the Beta. It saves all of us early adopters the pain of not being able to play with your new toys behind a proxy.

    I cannot connect to my outgoing email server on my macBook pro, yet I can, for the same email account on my iPad. Also I can send emails from the other email account I have on my MacBook...really confused can anyone help?

    Sometimes deleting the account and then re-creating it can solve this issue
    Write down all the information in accounts before doing this
    Highlight the account on the left and click the minus button
    Then click the plus button to add the new account and follow the prompts

  • HT1751 On an old Mac I got this message while trying to burn a CD for the car: "The attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error."  What does this mean?  And how do I work around it?

    On an older Mac I got this message while trying to burn a CD for the car: "The attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error."  What does this mean?  And how do I work around it?

    I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
    I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job.

  • I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes).  I only have ftp access to the site server.  Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

    Great, first post, sorry for the title.  But to repeat it:
    I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes).  I only have ftp access to the site server.  Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

    You can use the Dreamweaver FTP (or a different FTP client) to completely copy the original website to your development computer, then, before making changes, you can copy the whole thing to a directory called something like "website original"
    If you want to run both the old and new sites on the remote server, this is often possible. Add a folder/directory to the server and call it something like "new" and upload the new files there until you are ready to replace the old site
    All of this you can do with FTP

  • Oracle AS Web Cache - How to check whether the request goes throught it ?

    Hi,
    My application runs on Oracle 10g App Server,
    The OracleAS Web Cache is also running
    the command opmnctl status shows...
    WebCache - Alive
    WebCacheAdmin - Alive
    Is there any way to check whether the request form the client goes through the Web Cache ?
    B'coz when i checked OracleAS Web Cache Administrator UI
    The information like Total Requests Served, Cahce Hit , Cache Misses etc are 0 and it does'nt changes...
    I have the directive keepAlive as[b] off in httpd.conf, will this have an impact over Web Cache ???
    Plz suggest me a way to check whether the request goes through Web Cache or directly to Oracle HTTP Server ??
    Deepak.C

    Keepalive has no impact on webcache, but it does have a huge impact on performance. So far I found no proper reason to put it off in any production system.
    Anyway, logging from webcache and/or apache (ias) should show how requests are going from the client to the AS.

  • Intermittent proxy error "There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server "

    Hi all,
    From time to time (at least once a day), the following message pops up on the user's screen:
    "There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server . Error Code 80000000)."
    If we click "OK" it goes away and everything continues to work although sometimes Outlook disconnects. It is quite annoying...
    Any ideas?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi,
    For the security alert issue, I'd like to recommend you check the name in the alert windows, and confirm if the name is in your certificate.
    Additionally, to narrow down the cause, when the Outlook client cannot connect again, I recommand you firstly check the connectivity by using Test E-mail AutoConfiguration. For more information, you can refe to the following article:

    When I double click on the Mozilla Firefox icon to open it up an error message comes up and says "The Proxy Server is refusing connections" Check the proxy settings to make sure they are correct. Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.
    Please help me with this.
    Thank you

    1) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option1 -> Click OK -> OK
    2) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option2 -> Click OK -> OK
