anything to do with httpd_accel is not what you want; this is for using squid as an http daemon accelerator for web pages which are served from your site to browsers of that internal site. You are trying to do the reverse, and
I don't know if the two are compatible in one squid installation
Your build of squid may not be capable of it anyway (there are many build options for squid which make it less capable, but lighter)
This is not your whole squid.conf, is it? That is normally quite a long file.
httpd_accel options are out-of-date. That's why they give errors. A lot of online guides still refer to them being used to enable intercepting proxying (commonly but wrongly called 'transparent' proxying).
In your case, if this is just for a single machine you won't need that function. But if this is for a single machine then what you're doing is unlikely to help browsing speed.
