Im sorry what can I do my friend coz this site doesn't accept more then 25000 character and squid file is around 1lak I tried to put that post in thread but isn't work only not more then 250000 character, and yes I have restarted squid, how to check cache.

You dont need to post the complete squid configuration file here. Just the relevant code that you have changed. There is a directive cache_dir which is used to configure squid to store the cache in a file. You can edit that directive. By default it is set to /var/log/squid/cache.log.

I have tried to install again and i have done it but i think its problem is with client PC when i try to connect or type any website it says "Proxy connect refuse "

can any one recognize this problem.

Okay, to get along with the solution for your problem I suggest you set squid into debug mode so we can get more information out of it.

First get the address and port squid is bound to
Please post the output of this command here and if your client's proxy preferences are different set it accordingly and check if it just works.

If it doesn't work:
The next part is to get squid into debug mode, then access the internet from the client machine and than quickly set squid back to normal mode to avoid that to much debug messages getting logged.

To set Squid into debug mode run the following command, run it again to get back to normal mode.
Please post excerpts of squid's cache.log (e.g. /var/log/squid/cache.log) (only the interesting messages, skip messages like "comm_calliocallback: 0" or the like).

HTH

edit:
Hmm... after a few minutes I think that it is probably a bad idea to set squid in debug mode that way, there will be too much unrelevant messages. Going the other way...

Edit the squid configuration file (e.g. /etc/squid/squid.conf)
/etc/squid/squid.conf
this sets the debug level for ACL and client-side operations to 3 (should be enough).

Then restart squid
wait until squid is fully started ("[ OK ]" appears).

Open a console and run tail to monitor the logfile
try to access the internet from your client machine through proxy.
Inspect the message in the console.

Hello,

Thankz for the reply.

I have tried using netstat command please check the output of the command

[root@rahil ~]# netstat -nap | grep squid
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3128 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9239/(squid)
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:47387 0.0.0.0:* 9239/(squid)
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3130 0.0.0.0:* 9239/(squid)
unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 44717 9237/squid
[root@rahil ~]#


Then I added debug in squid.conf file

then I restarted squid service.


still same problem I am sending u email with cache.log file.


Thank you.

Yes, I have tried using telnet and output is this below

[root@rhel ~]# telnet 172.16.19.66 3128
Trying 172.16.19.66...
telnet: connect to address 172.16.19.66: No route to host
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host
[root@rhel ~]#


172.16.19.66 is my server IP and 172.16.19.85 is my client IP

and wen I try #nc 172.16.19.66 3128 nothing happens no output of this command.

Then you should first try if the network is up. Can client connect to the server and vice versa. You could ping them and try if the connection is there. Then advance with squid debugging.

OKay when i try elinks www.google.com i get thiss error

no route to host and connection refuse.

yes, my network is up both machine are pinging.

Forget about internet for sometime. First try if the client can connect to the squid server. Then find if the squid is accepting the connections from outside at 3128 port.

If the error is connection refused error then you should find out if some firewall is stopping squid from accepting connections at port 3128. If squid is non transparent and SElinux is disabled, then there is no need to configure iptables for basic operation. Just stop the firewall and find if it is accepting the connections.

Yes, I stoped my firewall too but isnt work, is there anythiong to run squid wen firewall is ON.

Usually, there is nothing special that you should be doing. I have a transparent squid running with no special configurations. Just some access control lists and iptables configuration for redirecting the http requests to squid port and accepting the local connections on http port and redirect loopback internet requests to squid port.

can you make transparent squid can you explan me how to do it.

There is nothing too difficult about it.
Create the access control lists. in http_port directive, give the option transparent.
Create the iptables firewall rules for forwarding the http requests to squid port.
This link will help you making a transparent squid. But if you make a squid work first, it will be better for you to know where you are going wrong.

Firstly, if squid is installed, create the acls and configure the squid configuration file as you need.
Then start the squid. Turn off the firewall and allow squid from SELinux. Configure the client web browser to use your squid.
Once this gets working go for making it work as transparent.
