6.7. Caching Issues
If package delivery fails or an object appears to be corrupt, and it is not related to con-
nection errors, you should consider clearing the caches. The RHN Proxy Server has two
caches you should be concerned with: one for Squid and the other for authentication.
The Squid cache is located in
/var/spool/squid/
. To clear it, stop the Apache HTTP
Server and Squid, delete the contents of that directory, and restart both services. Issue these
commands in this order:
service httpd stop
service squid stop
rm -fv /var/spool/squid/*
service squid start
service httpd start
You may accomplish the same task more quickly by just clearing the directory and restart-
ing squid, but you will likely receive a number of RHN traceback messages.
The internal caching mechanism used for authentication by the Proxy may also need its
cache cleared. To do this, issue the following command:
rm -fv /var/cache/rhn/*
Although the RHN Authentication Daemon was deprecated with the release of RHN Proxy
Server 3.2.2 and replaced with the aforementioned internal authentication caching mech-
anism, the daemon may still be running on your Proxy. To turn it off, issue the following
individual commands in this order:
chkconfig --level 2345 rhn_auth_cache off
service rhn_auth_cache stop
To clear its cache, issue:
rm /var/up2date/rhn_auth_cache
If you must retain the RHN Authentication Daemon, which Red Hat recommends against
and does not support, note that its performance can suffer from verbose logging. For this
reason, its logging (to
/var/log/rhn/rhn_auth_cache.log
) is turned off by default.
If you do run the daemon and desire logging, turn it back on by adding the following line
to the Proxy’s
/etc/rhn/rhn.conf
file:
auth_cache.debug = 2
