Hi guys, I added a new acl into the squid.conf file and now the service will not start. I have taken out what I put in and re-saved then rebooted the server. Still no joy. The error tells me it is in line 54 which is as follows http_access allow manager localhost When i launch squid directly in the terminal it tells me ACL localhost not defined, yet it is (see below) Below is the conf file. Any help would be hugely appreciated!! Thanks.
