you have to edit squid.conf file.

Also this thing has been discussed before . all you have to make sure that the ports used by messenger are allowed in the squid.conf .

try to disable or remove following lines from squid.conf

Code: [Select]

http_access deny !Safe_ports
http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports

if u r using simple proxy, and u r suing 3128 as the default port add port 80 also.

http_port 3128 80

restart the squid

service squid restart

go to yahoo messenger -> connection -> preference
check mark the http_proxy and give the proxy server address and port as 80.

it vil work

cheers
