Hi Guys,
I'm Gowri Shankar and i have been trying to learn linux for the past one month(which is awesome as everytime i configure something correctly it gives immense joy to me). Currently i'm learning squid reverse proxy server. i installed and configured it with mixed success which led me to this question "how to know if your configuration is correct?" as i can't seem to find a good resource on that in google and when i restart it ,squid seems to work without coughing up errors. So, thought of coming here and ask the experts on how it is done.

You point your browser to your Squid server and use it. You have configured a proxy server, so the only way to test it is to get data going through it and look at the logs. Did you read the documentation?

>> You can check by telnet to the port 80 or whatever port your squid proxy is listening on also check access logs you can understand it.
