[squid-users] httpd_accel in Squid 2.6.STABLE1 problem

Hi,

I'm currently testing Squid 2.6.STABLE1. In the past I have always used
Squid as a reverse proxy to our http servers on the internal network, today
as I'm setting up Squid I notice it's missing something in the Squid.conf
file. I just went through and configure everything as I had on the old
Squid box but there is only one option under the httpd-accelerator section.

# HTTPD-ACCELERATOR OPTIONS
#
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-

# TAG: httpd_accel_no_pmtu_disc on|off
# In many setups of transparently intercepting proxies Path-MTU
# discovery can not work on traffic towards the clients. This is
# the case when the intercepting device does not fully track
# connections and fails to forward ICMP must fragment messages
# to the cache server.
#
# If you have such setup and experience that certain clients
# sporadically hang or never complete requests set this to on.
#
#Default:
# httpd_accel_no_pmtu_disc off

Then I check the FAQ and followed this link
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy to read more about how to
set it up. It says to use the options httpd_accel_host and httpd_accel_port
but they're not valid options when I start Squid, it gives me an error.

2006/07/03 16:20:13| parseConfigFile: line 2967 unrecognized:
'httpd_accel_host virtual'
2006/07/03 16:20:13| parseConfigFile: line 2968 unrecognized:
'httpd_accel_port 80'

I didn't have any problems configuring it in 2.5.STABLE14 release.
Further searching the squid.conf for the term "httpd_accel" returns nothing
except the above option.

Am I doing something wrong? I checked if needed to compile it with options
to enable reverse proxy but I don't.

Thank you,

Jon
