I've almost given up on this one. I am trying to run Squid 2.0 on a Linspire 5.0 system.
The basic configuration works when I set up the ACL for my home network. It works with ACLs modified on my network at the shop, but when I take it out to the network that needs it...I get the error immediately, Squid quits, FATAL: and complains about not being able to find a "fully qualified" hostname. It wants me to set "virtual_hostname", but will not recognize the virtual hostname I give it. It may be a network configuration related issue. Either that or Squid just hates me. One bit of sanity...I've gotten it to run (on my networks) with DHCP supplying the IP address. However, when I try to configure squid with a STATIC address, I get the same failure message. There's something there, but I'm not smart enough to figure it out. Any thoughts? I was thinking it might be DNS related since it seems to have difficulty resolving host_names. Steve
