Hi Al,
thanks for your reply, I don't acutally have a problem with the apache
because the webserver is on another machine as the backend server
switching off the apache running on the proxy machine doesn't bother me
what I am having a problem with is that it doesn't pull the website from the
backend server
and right now it won't even allow me access from the local network
I have commented out all of the deny accesses and yet it still won't allow
any machine on my local network to access the internet.
That's what I found very strange.
My proxy server runs freely on a dedicated machine nothing else runs on that
machine.
Regards
Adam

Hi,
Although you can't have apache and squid listening on port 80 on the same
IP, you can have them both running on port 80 on the same machine. Just do
this:
Change your apache config to:
"Listen 127.0.0.1:80"
Change your squid config to:
"cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 80 0 no-query originserver" "http_port
1.2.3.4:80 accel vhost"
Where 1.2.3.4 is, put your public IP.

Hi All,
Thank you guys for your help
I have tried your suggestions,
Yes Ron I know that two programmes can't both listen on the same port at
the same time
but I thought the Apache was essential for the Proxy server, so thanks
for the suggestion,
I am including bits of my config here, because now I am getting "Access
Denied" even from a local network:
Can you guys please take a look at it and see if you can spot what's
causing the access denied.
note I have tried to allow everything and removed all the "deny"
directives and yet it's still denies any access from my local network.
That is why I get so confused with Squid, I don't understand it's logic
to be perfectly honest, and let me remind you that this config used to
work just fine at least it used to allow access to the internet to all
the clients on my local network.

Hello there,
Thanks for the reply Ron and Amos
Maybe my original e-mail wasn't clear a bit confusing I am sorry if I
confused you
I have squid running on Machine A with let's say local ip 192.168.1.4
the backend server is running on machine B and ip address 192.168.1.3
Now, instead of getting the website that is located on Machine B
192.168.1.3 which is listening on port 81 not 80.
I am getting the default Apache Page on the Proxy server Machine which
is 192.168.1.4
And I do have the vhost in my configuration
Well there are two apaches running on the two machines, the proxy
machine and the web-server machine, except the web-server apache
listens on port 81, logically (technically) speaking it should work,
but for some reason it doesn't.
I hope it makes more sense to you what I am trying to describe here
Very helpful.
You can not have apache listening for port 80 on 192.168.1.4 and Squid
trying to do the same thing.
Only one process can have port 80.
You will very likely find a note in the squid logs that says something
to the effect that squid can not bind to port 80.
If you shutdown apache on 192.168.1.4 and restart squid, your proxy will
work (if the rest of the configuration is correct)
If you then try to start apache on 192.168.1.4 it will certainly
complain loudly about port 80 not being free.
If you want to use Apache on both 192.168.1.4 and 192.168.1.3 you need
to set the apache on 192.168.1.4 to listen on port 81 and set squid to
proxy to the apache on 192.168.1.4 and use apache's proxy and vhost
features to reach 192.168.1.5 which can be set to listen on port 80.
This will support
browser=>Squid on 192.168.1.4 ==> Apache on 192.168.1.4:81 (vhost)
==>Apache 192.168.1.3:80
That is a pretty common approach.
Ron
Thank you all for your help

What is squid proxying?
Usually the normal behaviour is exactly what you are getting since
squid
normally proxies Apache on 80.
Browser ==> Squid on 80==>proxied to Apache on port 81.
If Squid is not proxying Apache, then it looks like you have Apache
running on 80.
If you are trying to redirect port 80 to another program that is not
Apache, then you need to get Apache off port 80.
You can not have 2 programs listening to port 80.
If Apache is running and owns port 80, Squid will not start.
If this is the case, You likely have errors in the logs to this
effect.
Shut down Apache and and restart Squid.
Try to start Apache and now it should howl with anger (or log in
anger)
at not getting port 80.

Sorry, took me a while to un-mangle that original email text.
You are missing the "vhost" option on https_port 80. All traffic Squid
receives on port 80 will go to Apache's default virtual host.
