Hi I hope someone can help me! I am running Squid 2.6.STABLE1 on Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 (Kernel 2.6.17-amd64). Squid is listening on port 3328. I am in the process of changing servers from Mandrake MNF, Kernel 2.4.18-8 with Squid 2.4.STABLE7. I want my configurations to be exactly the same, so I have copied over lots of things like my squid.conf and my firewall script. The configuration file I have included currently works with my old server. On my new Ubuntu server the squid program starts up OK. Oh, I also have SquidGuard running. This is the line in my firewall that redirects the HTTP requests from port 80 to port 3328: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3328 When I comment out this line, clients on the LAN can get through to the Internet. When the above line is implemented, we get the following error in all browsers, to all hosts. ERR_INVALID_REQ The following error was encountered: Invalid Request Some aspect of the HTTP Request is invalid. Possible problems: Missing or unknown request method Missing URL Missing HTTP Identifier (HTTP/1.0) Request is too large Content-Length missing for POST or PUT requests Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed Your cache administrator is webmaster.
