Squid issues new install

[ChrisH]

Having a few strange issues with a new squid install. Most sites work ok but anything involving a script like the CGI IRC on my site or even this site and a few forums ive tried they wont execute.

For example I can get to www.edugeek.net no problem but when I try clicking on a post is doesnt like it. I tried mark minasi forums as well. I could see the forum but as soon as I tried clicking on a section or post my proxy gave an error that it couldnt be found any ideas?

Do you ever get a "connection refused" error?

If so you may need to play with the "never_direct" option in your squid config, this tells squid to never go direct for noncachable objects (such as cgi).

Ah ty that was spot on. Currently posting from the new proxy now

Glad I could help!

You will also want never_direct if you are forced to use an upstream proxy by your isp (if its as crap as mine).

It was the never_direct I used and I'm in the same situation as you, we are forced to use an upstream proxy unless we take it off their hands with a letter from the head and we have to install smart filter though and I like dansguardian . Although I suppose I need the URL filtereing as well.
