squid error

hi guys!

anybody familiar with this error? i cannot access the internet every time i pass through squid. there are some postings regarding this error but only the same question and no clear answer.

thanks in advance


ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: /firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

The following error was encountered:

* Invalid URL

Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect. Possible problems:

* Missing or incorrect access protocol (should be `http://'' or similar)
* Missing hostname
* Illegal double-escape in the URL-Path
* Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed

Your cache administrator is root.

Are you able to access other URLs? The URL in question: [code:1]/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official[/code:1]
is incomplete. It is part of the URL for the default firefox start page and should really be: [code:1]http://www.google.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official[/code:1]
If you still have problems with other URLs, give us an idea of your setup and post your squid.conf file.

hi Dalight,

i think my problem was solved,

i missed a single line in the squid.conf, it is the 'httpd_accel_host virtual', so when i put this line and restart the squid. all works fine now. the problem was gone. seems this line is not included in the default of squid.conf of a newly installed squid.

the problem came when i reinstalled everything in this PC, the FC4, the network configuration and some services for the purpose of familiarization and learning.

anyway thanks Dalight.

Squid,

Isn't that something that swims in the sea :roll: :oops:

Squid is...

--) a full-featured Web proxy cache
--) designed to run on Unix systems
--) free, open-source software
--) the result of many contributions by unpaid (and paid) volunteers

Thought of Googling it

I guess some kind of a web-proxy for LINUX :roll:

monsky:
i'm newbie in linux as well as firewall. Can you give me some guideline of how to integrate between iptables, squid and dansguardian?
i had try for couple of days... but i still fail to make up the integration. what i could see is Access denial message from browser.

Thanks in advance.
