Hi, I am using Squid 3.0 as a reverse proxy and was able to connect to the originserver if I specify make "always_direct on". But if I turn the "always_direct" to be "off", I have not been able to get squid to forward http requests to the origin server that I specified. I looked through the FAQ and mail archive, there is one case similar to mine but no one provided an answer. The error message I got makes me think that there is something in the configuration file that is blocking the forwading request. This is what I got: ------------------------------------------- While trying to retrieve the URL: the server url here... The following error was encountered: * Unable to forward this request at this time. This request could not be forwarded to the origin server or to any parent caches. The most likely cause for this error is that: * The cache administrator does not allow this cache to make direct connections to origin servers, and * All configured parent caches are currently unreachable ----------------- I've put the origin server name in the http_port directive http_port 80 accel defaultsite=3Dmyorigin.com and I've changed the cache peer directive cache_peer myorigin.com parent 80 3130 originserver cache_peer_access myorigin.com allow all all is definied as (all client sources) I have no idea why it is not working, I'd appreciate any clue that you = can send me. Thanks, Chenxi
