I have read a lot of documents and have setup my Squid 2.5 STABLE1 server according to a detailed document, I did find differences in the location of the Squid binaries and files on my RH9 installation of Squid. The Squid server daemon starts fine when I run the following as root from the bash prompt: squid -N -d 1 -D When I try to access the web page from a standard NT Windows 2000 machine using Internet Explorer 5.0 I get the following error message from my Linux Squid server: -----------------------------------------------START Error Message Below ----------------------------------------------- ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.google.com/ The following error was encountered: Access Denied.
