hi,
i installed squid successfully (with defauly setttings to test it)

when i use /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid to run...it doesnt show any errors or anything..
so configuration is proper but now when i try to test the proxy from other machines then it doesnt work...shows page can't be displayed.

i also tried to test it from terminal by using following comand :

squidclient yahoo.com

it shows me foll. error

client: ERROR: Cannot connect to localhost:3128: Connection refused

and i dont think i am using my port 3128 anywhere else...so its free...

any idea about this problem ?

here are some more details :

OS - RedHat Linux 9
Installed squid on local machine (which is not server) for testing purpose.
my squid.conf file - http://techbeta.com/4boards/squid.conf

please let me know if any other details are needed.

Thanks
Deep

When i run squid service start or squid -z it shows me foll error :

my current visible hostname is Taj1
i still dont know why its showing the error.

Deep

hello

i alos face this error, i just set full qualified host name then it satart work, i alos read some where before squid DNS server should also run, mean first confogure DNS server then squid.
any way i just set fully qualified hostname in system setting -->netwok -->Hosts
hosts name should be like this linux .com or redhat.linux.com

may u resolve your problem
i am also trying to configure squid

Regards

hello

and please also type hostname in dns tab in same network tool
and dns server ip address , u can also use ISP dns server IP addrsss
regards

hi,
i did all that..
i m using my ISP's DNS servers

same hostname is there in DNS tab as well as in Hosts tab..and in squid.conf

as far as i know the config of the file is proper but still cant find the problem.

i read the user guide and config manualy on squid-cache.org but there also nothing is specified for my perticular problem..

i hope it gets sorted out soon

Deep

You've added

visible_hostname Taj1

to squid.conf ?

yes

i added it and also tried commenting that part but both of them didnt work.

Deep

hello
i solve this problem.

FATAL: Could not determine fully qualified hostname. Please set 'visible_hostname'

Use help under network Configuration , system setting-->network--> Help-->conetnts--> managing DNS setting.

i solve my problem with this help , try may u also solve urs problem

Regards

yup i will check it and i also found one more way..

use webmin and let it do everything for u...and believe me it WORKS

regards
Deep

hello

i am also trying with webmin , it always gives me version unsupported error, i explain the error in my webmin question thread.

Thanks

I have checked through squid.conf through for a long time,and i failed.
then i reboot the proxy server. and the squid reboot.
I try squidclient -p 80 mgr:info
shell echo client: ERROR: Cannot connect to localhost:80: Connection refused

and then i tried squidclient -p 80 -h [my sever's ip]mgr:info
and a lot of information was printed.

maybe this will be help for you.
