Just make entry in /etc/hosts file
open /etc/hosts file
make entry like this:
192.168.2.180                          mycomputer
  { Change 192.168.2.180 to  ur ip-address & mycompuet to ur computername)...
if u dont know abt ur computer name ...
type
#hostname
it willl show u ur computer name

After that restart squid service...
It will work after that..

Hi Gaurav

Thanks for reply.
I made below entry in /etc/hosts

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1       localhost localdomain
192.168.100.199 ns1

but still problem not solved. I am getting this error when starting squid.
                                                                                                                             
[root@ns1root]# /etc/init.d/squid restart
Stopping squid: /etc/init.d/squid: line 162:  1161 Aborted                 $SQUID -k check >/dev/null 2>&1
                                                           [FAILED]
Starting squid: /etc/init.d/squid: line 162:  1162 Aborted                 $SQUID $SQUID_OPTS 2>/dev/null
                                                           [FAILED]

What is the problem.

thanks in advance

This is most common pb....

I think u didn't specify correct entry
open ur /etc/hosts file

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.100.199                                        ns1
 {In that file ur hostname i.e  ns1(your hostname) must be below localhost  not below localhost.localdomain...,  but the lines which i wrote above looks like that ns1 is below localhost.localdomain but it is not so i.e it is below localhost)

Also in ur previous post u omitted or deleted by mistakenly localhost..., i.e
make the enry like above...i.e localhost must be there  after localhost.localdoain...

or u can give entry like this also this is another method

127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain    localhost  ns1

U can speciify or choose any above methods to make the entry


1 thing more if u have  domain name also means DNS ...then make its entry as welll}

i.e if suppoise ur DOMAINNAME is mysite.com..,&  if ur SQUID as well as DNS server is same... then change the entry like this
#vi /etc/hosts

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.100.199   mysite.com                   ns1

It will work perfectly if u made above entries...


{  when u make entry in /etc/hosts file... , then the hostname must be true  }


if u dont know ur hostname .., try the command
#hostname

it will show ur hostname....


Bye
