squid server is not working properly.The requested URL could not be retrieved

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: testing.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.

The default squid.conf denies everyone except for localhost.

----
http_access allow manager localhost
http_access deny manager
http_access deny !Safe_ports
http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports
http_access allow localhost
http_access deny all

Have you created additional ACLs to allow additional devices access to the proxy?

You have to create your access lists of your host to be able to use the server. In squid.conf file, locate the set of strings 'acl localhost src'. Insert the access rule below it similar to this:

acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
acl yournetwork src {whatever ip and subnet you use} <---Inserted

then also locate the 'http_access allow localhost' and insert the following line.

http_access allow yournetwork

Hope this works

Hi All, im having a similiar issue...

Im currently running Squid and Dansguardian with NTLM authentication - Every website works, and i get full reporting. except ONE website, and its doing my head in.

The error i get is
"Access Denied"

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

Even though the user is successfully authenticated and browsing other sites via tabs @ the same time. any thoughts? is it possible that this website is doing some dodgy code my squid box doesnt like?

the website in question is rivierasyndication's australian website...

note: i am in no way a spammer advertising a site etc.. this is a legit question :/


Any Help would be greatly appreciated. i can post up my squid.conf file if needed?

Hi All,

looking further into the issue i did a cat | grep into access.log and found that the following is happening

tcp_miss/200
TCP_client_refresh_miss/403
TCP_negative_hit/403


i dont understand why only this website is having an issue? anyone able to clarify something about this problem?
