Thanks for the help thus far. So far with the instructions you've given progress has been made but for a simple test trying the below site with just port 80 for now. This is what I've put in so far: http_port 80 accel defaultsite=<ip address> (not going to do domain name for this server) cache_peer <ip> parent 80 0 no-query originserver cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 100 16 256 When I do a squid -N I get the following: Cannot write log file <the path above> Permission denied (I've tried making the dir manually, no difference) Warning: Closing open FD2 It just sits on "performing DNS tests" for awhile then crashes.

And if the origin server is also https then use the ssl option on cache_peer. Configuration is the same as for http, but with the changes above to use https instead of http.. so it's just https_port 443 cert=/path/to/cert.pem key=/path/to/cert_key.pem accel defaultsite=the.official.name cache_peer ip.of.webserver parent 443 0 no-query originserver ssl The certificate key needs to be stored unencrypted, or you will need to start Squid in foreground mode (-N option) to be able to enter the key encryption password.
