<h1><a name="config-servquick"></a>Chapter 3: Basic Configuration</h1>
<h2><a name="server-config"></a>3.1 Server Configuration</h2>
<p>
Unlike some rumors on the internet claim, there should be no need for exhausting configuration work to just test apt-cacher-ng and run it with default parameters. It's actually designed to bootstrap most of its working environment without additional help.
</p>
<p>
The package setup scripts used by distributions should already prepare working initial settings for apt-cacher-ng. Check the file <code>/etc/apt-cacher-ng/acng.conf</code> file where most settings are explained. For the beginning they should not be changed, the only interesting setting present there is the TCP port. See Advanced Server Configuration for details.
</p>
<p>
There is also a daily cron job which executes some maintenance work. Additional automated control commands can be added by administrator.
</p>
<h2><a name="config-client"></a>3.2 Client Configuration</h2>
<p>
From the client side, apt-cacher-ng can be used as a drop-in replacement for apt-cacher. The same rules apply, e.g. Debian/Ubuntu users should EITHER:
</p>
<ul><li>
Specify the caching machine as HTTP Proxy for APT, e.g. putting a line like the following into a file like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy:
<pre><code>Acquire::http { Proxy "http://CacheServerIp:3142"; };
</code></pre>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
OR:
</p>
<ul><li>
Replace all mirror hostnames with cachinghost/hostname in sources.list, so
<pre><code>deb http://ftp.uni-kl.de/debian etch main
</code></pre>
<p>
should now become:
</p>
<pre><code>deb http://192.168.0.17:3142/ftp.uni-kl.de/debian etch main
</code></pre>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
<em>(assuming that CacheServerIp is 192.168.0.17 and the service port is 3142)</em>.
</p>
<p>
Mixing both configuration methods is not recommended and will lead to obscure APT failures in most cases.
</p>
<p>
Additionally, leading path component containing "apt-cacher/" or "apt-cacher?/" might be ignored by the server during the URL processing. This is intended behavior and exists to maintain backwards compatibility to sources.list entries configured for early versions of Apt-Cacher (based on CGI technology).
