The Squid server is OK now and clients PC can go to Internet through this Gateway...

I just want to share with you all, squid will fail to start if we don't give our server a hostname. We can set this with the visible_hostname parameter.

# I just add in the /etc/squid/squid.conf File with this line:

visible_hostname xyz

and it solved my problem.

However, thank you for both of you and "Linux Home Networking"...

Squid is running :
SUSESRV:~ # rcsquid status
Checking for WWW-proxy squid                                         running

Also, I'm using port 8080 for both Squid and client browser.

OR....
 
Is that the problem because of this WARNING message ?
"Warning: /var/run/squid.pid exists !"

SUSESRV:~ # rcsquid restart
Shutting down WWW-proxy squid - wait a minute or two... ...................
.........................................                            done
Starting WWW-proxy squid - Warning: /var/run/squid.pid exists !      done
SUSESRV:~ #

Thanks.

Thank you to both of you...

For your information, it response when I ping to both DNS IP server and already given the proxy server ip and port to clients Internet Browser.

Also, it work when I give the entries of DNS servers in Windows and browse without squid.

By the way, how to configured our browser to use squid properly other than to add proxy server ip and port to clients Internet Browser?

Thank you.

I have add DNS_NAMESERVERS 202.188.0.133 202.188.1.5 as provided by my ISP provider but Clients PC still unable go through the Internet.

Pls advise.[/b]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure squid proxy using SuSE 10.2 and follow step-by-step tutorial in this forum with a small cahnges in squid.conf as below:

http_port 8080
#Default:
# cache_mem 8 MB
#Default:
# cache_dir ufs /var/cache/squid 100 16 256
acl S4 src 192.168.3.4/32
# INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE TO ALLOW ACCESS FROM YOUR CLIENTS
http_access allow S4

Everything look ok when run from terminal program....

SUSESRV:~ # rcsquid restart
Shutting down WWW-proxy squid - Warning: squid not running !         done
Starting WWW-proxy squid                                             done
SUSESRV:~ # rcsquid status
Checking for WWW-proxy squid                                         running
SUSESRV:~ # rcsquid restart
Shutting down WWW-proxy squid - wait a minute or two... ...................
.........................................                            done
Starting WWW-proxy squid - Warning: /var/run/squid.pid exists !      done
SUSESRV:~ #

The problem is, when I try to connect from client PC through this server, the squid proxy does not function properly. What I means is, client cannot go through the internet with the error "Cannot display the webpage"

Pls anyone to help me. Thanks

It is OK now by remove and install Squid again.
