<div>I installed varnish on Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric though the default repositories (apt-get install varnish). The Ubuntu package does not just supply /usr/sbin/varnishd and /etc/varnish/default.vcl; it also creates some startup entries (/etc/init.d/varnish, varnishlog, varnishncsa) by default. I would like to use this package as it was meant, but it is not clear to me how I am supposed to use it and I don't think there is any documentation.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Some questions:</div><div><br></div><div>- Does the package assume port 80 is available (hence does it conflict with Apache2) ? I installed both but port 80 seems to be solely used for Apache.</div><div>
- How am I supposed to include my own VCL script? Should I just overwrite /etc/varnish/default.vcl ?</div><div>- Is there any place to 'configure' the varnishd startup options, or should I hack those into the startup scripts ?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Jeroen</div>
