I have installed squid/3.0-PRE3-20050614 with no problem as http accelerator. It runs fine but when I access a web page through squid, it won't work. I get Unable to forward this request at this time and says The cache administrator does not allow this cache to make direct connections to origin servers, and All configured parent caches are currently unreachable.
