All, I've tried the suggestions on both google and on this forum i can't seem to get Squid to allow external connections...Apologies this is on a headless Mybook world. my lan information current ip addressing 192.168.0.x Squid box ip 192.168.0.8 Router Ip 192.168.0.1 Have tried playing with http_access flags without any luck any assistance is more than appreciated. apologies has been many many years since i setup a proxy if any one could help would be much apperciated. Using the below. http_port 192.168.0.8:3128 acl our_networks src 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.2.0/24 http_access allow our_networks #Recommended minimum configuration: acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl our_networks src 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.100 This is basically going to be a home squid cache....
Hey mate, Yep i verified what i think the issue is... When looking and playing around i found that if i use default config cache of /opt/var/squid/cache Squid works accepting connections etc. but i am trying to change it to /shares/Public/WWW/Squid/cache i get connections refused. I've started /opt/bin/squid -z to create the required swap directory's in /shares/Public/Squid/cache Run chmod -R 770 /shares/Public - to set full read write across whole directory chown nobody:nobody /shares/Public -have also tried setting the permissions as root as described in forum posts. Is weird the error above i've checked the permissions on both see below /opt/var/squid drwxr-xr-x 18 nobody nobody 4096 Mar 26 18:58 cache dirs inside cache drwxr-x--- 258 nobody jewab 4096 Mar 26 18:24 00 /shares/Public/WWW/Squid/cache drwxrwx--- 18 nobody jewab 4096 Mar 26 19:16 cache In the cache.log i can still see the following /shares/Public/WWW/Squid/cache/swap.state: (13) Permission FATAL: storeUfsDirOpenSwapLog: Failed to open swap log.
Can you make sure that all directories in the path to /shares/Public/WWW/Squid/cache also have the correct permissions? It's enough if there is one directory in the path where nobody has no read permssions...
