On my Gentoo box are a chrooted Squid-2.5.STABLE14 and a Privoxy. I can use both to browse with almost no problem. If I perform a search at "http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/search.php" using Squid the error returned is "(110) Connection timed out". The Privoxy on the same box, and an IPCop Squid on a different box, perform the search without fault. After clicking on "Search" at linuxquestions nothing is logged in /var/log/squid. I cannot see how the problem is not Squid. Nor can I see how Squid is the problem. Yes, I have good eye sight, and I'll let you be the judge of the thing between my ears. The squid.conf that achieves the error is as follows: shutdown_lifetime 5 seconds chroot /chroot/squid/ cache_mem 50 MB visible_hostname my-proliant cache_dir ufs /var/cache/squid/ 100 16 256 cache_peer miss-whoops.fogwatch.com.au parent 800 0 default no-query acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? no_cache deny QUERY cache_effective_user squid cache_effective_group squid maximum_object_size 102400 KB log_mime_hdrs off forwarded_for off acl my_network src 192.168.1.0/24 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 http_access allow my_network http_access deny all request_body_max_size 0 KB reply_body_max_size 0 allow all Any help that you are able to allocate to this problem will be much appreciated. Thank you. Regards Fog_Watch.
