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?
No it is an interception port. Forward proxy port has no special mode settings (intercept/tproxy/accel).
So why is squid screaming about this?
Squid needs at least one port to serve the error page, FTP and gopher icons, and other proxy-proxy communications from. Interception port mode now (3.2+) has security checks which cause problems for that traffic.
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
Hmm. It should have. Thank you. Amos
