Hi Everyone,

I am trying to connect to my web page which is on my linux box using my IP, I have apache up and running correctly I think and squid is set to pass the request to apache, however whenever i try to connect i get the error message,


Access Denied.
Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time


This Is being genertaed by Squid. Does anybody know how to configure squid to allow outside connection?

Cheers

Nick

Maybe I am not understanding your problem. Squid isn't a firewall, (it doesnt block connections) its a cacheing http proxy.

My firewall is set up so that it routes all traffic on port 80 through squid and then it gets applied to the ACL's in squid (i think) (actually i not really sure about what im talking about), so i thought i might have to add an ACL or something to allow access? any ideas?

Cheers

As far as I know.. squid doesn't have anything to do with incomming traffic to port 80. It handles and caches http traffic from outgoing traffic.
A clear explanation of your goal and problem is needed.
