Proctor Cache Notes

  1. Do not restart or shutdown the proctor server, other wise you will have to restart the proxy server manually again, and possibly have to download the content again.
  2. I think the proxy files are here:
    1. /private/var/run/proxy/ 
  3. Can the proctor caching software be installed on Mac OS X SERVER 10.4.10?
    1. Yes, installing proctor caching on a Mac OS 10.4.10 server is acceptable.
  4. How can one test to see if the proctor cache is working correctly (short of trying to cache an entire test and taking a test) –
    1. Open Terminal (Go > Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
    1. Type ‘netstat -an | grep 4480’
    2. Select Return/Enter key
      1. The expected output should show that port 4480 is in ‘LISTEN’ status.
      1. If the above is true, Mac Proctor Caching is installed and listening.
  5. Is there a way to monitor what the cache server is doing?
    1. Open Terminal (Go > Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
    2. Type ‘cd /private/var/run/proxy’
    3. Type ‘ls -l’ (where ‘ls’ is the command to list the contents of a directory and the ‘-l’ is another option to list in the long format)
    4. If content has been cached, you should see several directories listed when you give the ‘ls -l’ command. 
    5. If after typing ‘Is -I’ you do not see anything in return, then nothing has been cached.
  6. Is there a way to determine the quantity/size of the cached content?
    1. The quantity/size of content is shown at the beginning of pre caching a test. 
  7. Is there a way to determine currently connected clients to the cache server?
    1. Repeat the answer in question 2 and on that ‘netstat’ page that shows the ‘LISTEN’ status there should also be an area showing connected users if Testnav has been launched.
Compatibility with 10.5 Leopard Server
As of 10/22/08, the proctor caching server software is NOT compatible with 10.5 Leopard Server.
They are working on a fix, and the timetable is "weeks""maybe months" away.
In the meantime, you can install the proctor caching server on 10.4 Tiger Server, or 10.5 Leopard Client.
