Hey, I am using 3.3 sources to make a transparent proxy. i have configured the http port in the squid like this http_port 192.168.8.40:3128 intercept ssl-bump generate-host-certificates=on dynamic_cert_mem_cache_size=4MB cert=/home/talha/squid/www.sample.com.pem key=/home/talha/squid/www.sample.com.pem But when i run squid i get these error at the start and my webpages wont open. I think these errors are the problem showing something in forwarding . 2012/04/23 16:06:44| ERROR: No forward-proxy ports configured. 2012/04/23 16:06:44| ERROR: No forward-proxy ports configured. 2012/04/23 16:06:44| ERROR: No forward-proxy ports configured. The above definition of http_port is exactly that of a forward-proxy port! isnt it? So why is squid screaming about this? This runs in 3.1 btw. May be 3.2/3.3 have some changes. Running squid -k parse also shows no issue. Heres the relevant output of -k parse 2012/04/23 16:10:52| Processing: sslproxy_cert_error allow all 2012/04/23 16:10:52| Processing: sslcrtd_program /usr/local/squid-3.3/libexec/ssl_crtd -s /usr/local/squid-3.3/var/lib/ssl_db -M 4MB 2012/04/23 16:10:52| Processing: sslcrtd_children 5 2012/04/23 16:10:52| Processing: http_port 192.168.8.40:3128 intercept ssl-bump generate-host-certificates=on dynamic_cert_mem_cache_size=4MB cert=/home/talha/squid/www.sample.com.pem key=/home/talha/squid/www.sample.com.pem 2012/04/23 16:10:52| Starting Authentication on port 192.168.8.40:3128 2012/04/23 16:10:52| Disabling Authentication on port 192.168.8.40:3128 (interception enabled) 2012/04/23 16:10:52| Disabling IPv6 on port 192.168.8.40:3128 (interception enabled) 2012/04/23 16:10:52| Processing: https_port 192.168.8.40:3129 intercept ssl-bump generate-host-certificates=on dynamic_cert_mem_cache_size=4MB cert=/home/talha/squid/www.sample.com.pem key=/home/talha/squid/www.sample.com.pem 2012/04/23 16:10:52| Starting Authentication on port 192.168.8.40:3129 2012/04/23 16:10:52| Disabling Authentication on port 192.168.8.40:3129 (interception enabled) 2012/04/23 16:10:52| Disabling IPv6 on port 192.168.8.40:3129 (interception enabled) 2012/04/23 16:10:52| Processing: icap_service service_req reqmod_precache bypass=1 icap://192.168.8.140:1344/echo 2012/04/23 16:10:52| Processing: adaptation_access service_req allow all -- Regards, -Ahmed Talha Khan
