Hi again list. This time i've an issue which i don't know why it happens. What i do know is that this happened to me other times and i could only resolv it by reinstalling the squid (apt-get purge squid + apt-get install squid). I'm running debian, ver. 4 neurus:/etc/squid# uname -a Linux neurus 2.6.18-4-686 #1 SMP Mon Mar 26 17:17:36 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux I was running squid perfectly but decided to configure it to reject unwonted pages, so in the squid.conf i added two lines (the marked with *). When i save the changes and do a reload to the squid i found out that i won't run, whatever i do. neurus:/etc/squid# tail -n 1785 squid.conf | head -n 18 # INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE TO ALLOW ACCESS FROM YOUR CLIENTS *acl FILTRADAS dstdomain "/etc/squid/filtradas.squid" *http_access deny FILTRADAS delay_pools 1 delay_class 1 1 delay_parameters 1 12000/16000 8000/10000 acl LAN src 192.168.0.0/24 delay_access 1 allow LAN # Example rule allowing access from your local networks.
