[NCLUG] Fwd: A question about squid problem

[James DeWitt]

Hi nclug, 

Someone sent me this question out of the blue.  I've never
set up squid, so I will anonymously proxy it to the group.

Thanks,
James

Hi ,
I found your e-mail address while I was searching for help through the net.
I will try to explain about my network structure and my problem.
We were using a Windows server as a firewall and gateway and a Red Hat as a
proxy server. When we had a problem with the firewall we replaced it with a
Fedora Core ( squid and shorewall are configured ) as a proxy,getaway and
firewall.Then remove the red hot server which was serving as a (squid)
proxy . But my problems continued.

Below is my squid configuration on Fedora Core ( which is also the gateway
and firewall ):

acl mydomain src 192.168.10.0/24
http_access allow mydomain

http_access deny !mydomain

But when i try to open www.mydomain.com and any other pages under
www.mydomain.com ( www.mydomain.com/references.asp) i get an error ( 111)
saying that connection refused. when i clear the proxy options the pages
are displayed.

I had the same config when i was using Red hat squid but it was neither  a
gateway nor a firewall.It was only running as a proxy. Why i get a refused
connection error??

I would be glad if you can support me with this...
