Safesquid SWG On Redhat

[chinna]

hello all,

can we install safeSquid swg in CentOS/RedHat OS?

the custom iso provided by safesquid is a Debian based system.
i have a redhat distro guy.
and i can see that safesquid provides a tar ball for safesquid swg installation.
I have tried installing SafeSquid SWG version from this link : http://downloads.safesquid.net/applianc ... est.tar.gz
but using the tar ball i am not able to install safesquid swg.
what i can see from the below error/screenshot that the tar ball uses Debian based package manager: aptitude

i can replace it will the yum in place of aptitude inside file: setup.sh.
but still finding it difficult to install.
i have gone through the setup.sh file
if i could get help
like redhat alternative packages for deian packages.

Will you further guide me

Hi Chinna,

we usually recommend our clients to use our Custom ISO based installation as we have done a lot of customization to get best performance while using SafeSquid-SWG.
The SAB.iso will create different partitions to store different kinds of SafeSquid files, minimal packages, tcp tuning. It also installs caching name sever(bind), monit.

As per your requirement, yes we can install SafeSquid-SWG in a rpm based distros like RedHat, CentOS.
To do that, you need to do a small modification in the setup.sh file.
Rather than doing that, i have attached the new modified setup.sh file.
You can replace it and execute the script.
After running the setup.sh file, few packages need to be installed separately like caching name sever(bind), monit.

Start the SafeSquid service:
/etc/init.d/safesquid start

Stop the SafeSquid service:
/etc/init.d/safesquid stop

Note:
SafeSquid works on port(8080). Make sure that you allow port(8080) for incoming connections.
