I have just finished setting up Squid and I am having the hardest time. I have tried everything. The current problem I am having is that I have to reload the page 20 times for me to see the page load once. The other 19 loads are a connection refused error. My squid.conf is as follows: auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid_passwd auth_param basic children 1 auth_param basic concurrency 500 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl localnet src 10.0.0.0/8 # RFC1918 possible internal network acl localnet src 172.16.0.0/12 # RFC1918 possible internal network acl localnet src 192.168.0.0/16 # RFC1918 possible internal network acl SSL_ports port 443 acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 # https acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access allow manager localhost acl ncsaauth proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow ncsaauth http_access allow localnet http_access allow localhost icp_access allow localnet htcp_access allow localnet http_port 3128 acl ip1 myip 66.63.191.247 tcp_outgoing_address 66.63.191.247 ip1 acl ip2 myip 66.63.167.178 tcp_outgoing_address 66.63.167.178 ip2 acl ip3 myip 66.63.167.179 tcp_outgoing_address 66.63.167.179 ip3 acl ip4 myip 66.63.167.180 tcp_outgoing_address 66.63.167.180 ip4 acl ip5 myip 66.63.167.181 tcp_outgoing_address 66.63.167.181 ip5 acl cli_10_0_0_10 src 76.94.55.2 http_access allow cli_10_0_0_10 hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? access_log /var/log/squid/access.log squid refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern (cgi-bin|\?) 0 0% 0 icp_port 3130 forwarded_for off coredump_dir /var/spool/squid request_header_access Allow allow all request_header_access Authorization allow all request_header_access WWW-Authenticate allow all request_header_access Proxy-Authorization allow all request_header_access Proxy-Authenticate allow all request_header_access Cache-Control allow all request_header_access Content-Encoding allow all request_header_access Content-Length allow all request_header_access Content-Type allow all request_header_access Date allow all request_header_access Expires allow all request_header_access Host allow all request_header_access If-Modified-Since allow all request_header_access Last-Modified allow all request_header_access Location allow all request_header_access Pragma allow all request_header_access Accept allow all request_header_access Accept-Charset allow all request_header_access Accept-Encoding allow all request_header_access Accept-Language allow all request_header_access Content-Language allow all request_header_access Mime-Version allow all request_header_access Retry-After allow all request_header_access Title allow all request_header_access Connection allow all request_header_access Proxy-Connection allow all request_header_access User-Agent allow all request_header_access Cookie allow all And I added the following line to my iptables: -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3128 -j ACCEPT Here is the message I always see: * About to connect() to proxy 66.63.167.181 port 3128 (#0) * Trying 66.63.167.181... * Connection refused * couldn't connect to host * Closing connection #0 Any help would be great! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/I-keep-getting-connection-refused-tp26112209p26112209.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
