Are you trying to build an accellerator for your site or a proxy.
Pick one and get it to work.
The config that I sent you is an accelerator.
I would suggest to stick with the accelerator and let your inside guys
hit your server on port 80.
1) Put your backend server back on port 80
http_port 80 accel vhost defaultsite=www.mysite.org
cache_peer 192.168.1.3 parent 80 .... whatever I had in my config should
be fine once you change my 81 to 80. I needed to use 81 since I had
both apache and squid on the same machine. You do not have this problem.
This way your inside guys are still hitting your backend the old
fashioned way and your clients are coming through your front door with a
caching proxy.
Get rid of the acl stuff until you get it going and then decide how to
block people.
Check my acl settings but I do not recall doing anything to control access.
KISS
Good luck

Hi Amos,
Thanks for your time
at the moment my config is as follow it's working as far is the
acceleration mode is concerned
http_port 80 accel vhost defaultsite=www.mysite.org
cache_peer 192.168.1.3 parent 81 0 no-query originserver name=main
acl out_sites dstdomain www.mysite.org www.mysite.com
www.mysite.net
http_access allow our_sites
cache_peer_access main allow our_sites
cache_peer_access deny all
I can access my 3 websites from inside my network and from the
"Internet" no problems
apart for it being a little slower than before, but it's working
The problem I have right now is None of clients can access the internet
The error as before "The requested URL could not be retrieved"
here is the other part of config
acl manager proto cache object
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32
acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8.0.0.0/32
acl localnet src 10.0.0.0/8
acl localnet src 172.16.0.0/12
acl our_network 192.168.1.0/24
http_access allow manager localhost
http_access deny manager
http_access allow localnet
http_access deny all
http_access allow our_network
http_access deny all
htcp_access allow localnet
htcp_access deny all
icp_access allow localnet
icp_access deny all
http_port 3128 vhost (note if I remove the vhost I won't access my
websites) if I leave it I can't access the internet from my local
network)
No "Bind" error at this time
I hope that would help see if there's anything wrong with the
configuration
Regards
Adam

Hi Ron,
Thanks for your reply and thanks for your time
This is perhaps the 10th time I uninstalled it and reinstalled it
And this is the very first time I could access my websites
internally, externally nothing yet, I am still getting the error
This error:
The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: /
... appearing in a reverse-proxy setup means Squid received a
reverse-proxy/accelerated request intended for a web server on a port
without "accel" flag configured.
Please read all my notes below right to the end of the email before
changing anything. I'm commenting on each fine detail and what it
means...
My clients can all access the internet, Yes I am sure that there's a
misconfiguration in my config file but I followed every tutorial
trying desperately to get something up, after a while you're
saturated and very tired, bouncing from on issue to another
... so, we need you to stop bouncing and concentrate on one issue at
a time. When we are satisfied that you are understanding that one
move on ...
I checked and triple checked my iptables rules everything looks fine
so far
For instance, my backend server is listening right now on port 81,
why did I put it on port 81 because I was getting
Cannot bind to .... in the log file
so I changed it to 81 and I am getting the same error, there's
absolutely nothing else in my entire network that is using that port
So why can't it bind to port 81? You see the type of things that can
drive you through the wall
at the moment I have only three machines
A is Running the Proxy and the Router (IPTABLES)
B is the back end server
C is the DNS/DHCP servers
And only the backend server that is currently listening on port 81
and before that it was listening on port 80
no matter which port I put in my config I get the "Cannot bind to
...." in the log file
... from the below I'd guess you are changing both the Squid
http_port and the apache listening "Port" entries at the same time in
your tests.
here is a bit of my config
*********************************************************************
http_port 192.168.1.3:81 accel parent vhost defaultsite=www.mysite.org
The tutorial and advice so far as I've seen has been to place Squid
listening on "http_port 80 accel vhost" and apache listening on "Port
81".
Okay stop here. Check that. Make it so. Restart both software if needed.
If another "bind" error comes up during the restart let us know right
now.
Continue reading...
cache_peer 192.168.1.3 parent 81 0 no-query originserver name=main
Those two lines are (or 'were' right?) a loop.
Squid listening on 192.168.1.3 port 81 is to fetch requests from
source server listening on 192.168.1.3 port 81.
What you should have after my suggested change above is:
Squid listening on port 80 fetched from server on port 81.
Test this:
fetch a request for http://192.168.1.3:81/
EXPECTED: results in the apache "it works", or your <VirtualHost *>
site.
fetch a request for http://192.168.1.3/
EXPECTED: results in the apache "it works", or your <VirtualHost*>
site. Received through Squid.
(using wget, curl, or squidclient to display the response errors the
second fetch there should contains Via: header which is not present
in the first fetch.)
IF (and only if) there was no "bind" error, and the headers check
above fails to show a Via: header properly. We work on that in next
email...
acl dstdomain our_sites dstdomain www.mysite1.org www.mysite2.com
www.mysite3.net
http_allow_access main allow our_sites
http_peer_access main deny all
At the moment all of these sites are running on the same server
(virtualhost)
The only thing I am not sure of is probably the cache_peer directive
"cache_peer 192.168.1.3 parent 81 0 no-query originserver name=main"
If it's wrong then I don't know what to put in there
The IP address and port of your Apache server.
