Well u have to start with squid.conf file...
And there are lots of configuration for squid..
I am using squid. .and it is the one of the best proxy server i had encountered...
Best control , best management, and very easy if understand its basic funtions...
start squid : /etc/init.d/./squid start
allow http: edit the line "http_access deny_all" TO "http_access allow_all" OF /etc/squid.conf file to start browsing from any machine.
proxy in other pc: browsers in other pc's will configure the proxy like " IP address of your network card" port "3125" ---this is squid's default port. you can change it to legacy "8080"
first i want to install squid server, actualy i installed linux as destop envoierment, and when i search squid with whereis squid its find nothin, so first i will have install squid i have 3 version which i point my last post in tar.gz format
in my view first i will have to untar with
1- tar xvzf serquid. server. file.name.tar.gz
2- ./configure
3- make
4- make install
is this ok or nay thing else for proper squid installation

Rep:
Once you get it installed the squid.conf file is not too hard to set up. Set your network parameters and basic settings and you're off. One thing though, Squid alone will not proxy pop3 or any messenger client that uses something other than the standard http communication method (MSN and GAIM work through squid). For Pop3 access you will have to set up a separate proxy for pop3 or set up a port forward in your routing tables (iptables).
every one
Thanks for all for reply and try to help me.
i ahve install Squid 2.5 stable 4.
i used these command for install it
gzip squid.version.tar.tz
tar zvf squid.version.tar
cd squid.fullname
./configyre --prefix=/usr/local/squid

i also install latest webmin , but aftre setting path its giving this error
"your version of squid is not supported by webmin only version 1.1 to 2.5 are supported by this module. the command /usr/local/squid -v returned:"
