Re: Configuring Squid
Hi there,
I'm trying to access my proxy from my job. Some configurations were
made but I'm not sure about the acl configurations for solve this
error message:
"
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.google.com/
The following error was encountered:
Access Denied.
Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed
at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is
incorrect.
"
Could somebody help me for this configuration? Any information I
missed to paste here? Meanwhile I'm gonna look for docs throught out
the internet.
Thanks all,
Romulo Sousa
