Please keep in mind the following only applies to creating a web proxy caching setup;
I'd document others but I use ATS purely on a personal basis.This page will be an attempt to document my current findings in setting up ATS

The following lists the steps involved in getting a generic Traffic Server install,
from default configurations into a working setup. Once that's completed, feel free
to see my tuning guide for more information on performance settings.

Both Wiki pages use configuration examples from my running home Traffic Server setup.

IP Address Listening And Ports

Unlike Apache HTTP Server, Traffic Server takes a little more work to get things up and running.

Specifically, the following directive should set unless you want Traffic Server listening on
every possible interface:

Code Block

LOCAL proxy.local.incoming_ip_to_bind STRING 127.0.0.1 ::1

Also, the next directive will tell Traffic Server which ports to listen on:

Code Block

CONFIG proxy.config.http.server_ports STRING 8080:ipv6 8080

In this example, Apache Traffic Server will now listen on localhost, port 8080 for both IPv4 and IPv6.

TODO

...

  • Update description.
  • Add basic instructions for configuring IP address, and listen ports.
  • Mention your habit of simply rebooting ATS for configuration changes.
