The following error was encountered:

* Access Denied.

Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect.

Please help me how to resolve it.

I beleive you need to edit your squid.conf file to allow access to that port....

port 712 is in safe ports by default.i don't think u need to change it.
is ur proxy running transparently. if not try to use transparent proxy.
or sned ur squid.conf. may be we can suggest something.

i m pasting the acl part of my squid conf.

acl Safe_ports port 80 # http
acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp
acl Safe_ports port 443 563 # https, snews
acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher
acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais
acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports
acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt
acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http
acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker
acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http


when i tried to download a file from bittorrent site , it is giving me the 403 forbidden error in the bit torrent client

hope this will help you more.

dear if u don't mind
plz send me ur squid.conf in my email usman1_ak@yahoo.com
and plz tell me have u configured iptables or ipchains

From what I can tell you do not have 712 in your Safe_ports list. Add another line:

Which should now give you:
As root use . It may be reconfigure instead of reload; I don't have a squid box in front of me at the moment.

Now whether bittorrent will work through squid is a different story; that I don't know.

hi ,

nothing solved my problem yet,

i checked the access.log of squid it is giving me following error message :-

1127719673.640 1 191.254.13.59 TCP_DENIED/403 1033 GET http://freeeforums.blogdns.com:712/favicon.ico - NONE/- -

Why this is coming , plz help me

I would have to see your squid.conf file to help you further. usmanmehmood has also requested a copy of squid.conf to provide help.

It's not providing a username so it would appear that your auth_param config section is invalid. By looking at your squid.conf I could possibly spot the issue.

i again suggest u that u should send ur squid.conf and tell us that have u configured transparent proxy or not.
i tested that on my network , when i use transparent proxy that problem is solved but when i explicitly give proxy to internet explorer it gives the same error that u told us. so provide us all that information.

which part of squid.conf should i give you ,

i suggest u should mail me ur whole squid.conf. i told u my email address in a previous post.

i m mailing you the squid.conf , plz check and give feedback.

i got ur squid.conf
im ashtonied how ur squid is running without specifying visible_hostname.
anyways can u tell me ur configuration about transparent proxy i hope it will solve that problem as i told u in previous meesage.

What do you mean by transparent proxy here,
