Is this the correct path to ncsa_auth on your system? Usually ncsa_auth is in /usr/local/squid/libexec/ncsa_auth or /usr/libexec/squid/ncsa_auth > The first 4 lines above are simply obtained by uncommenting the lines from the > sample config (the first line also had to be completed) - the last two are > quite simple.

Your Squid is not running / has terminated due to servere problems. Check cache.log why. Regards Henrik
