The problem starts when I enable the following line:

access_log /home/panshul/squidCache/log/access.log

I start to get proxy server is refusing connections error in the browser.
on commenting out the above line in my config, things go back to normal.

The second problem starts when i add the following line to my config:

cache_dir ufs /home/panshul/squidCache/cache 100 16 256

The squid server fails to start.

Any suggestions what am I missing in the config. Please help.!!

    Try adding “squid” to the end of your access_log directive.

    access_log /home/panshul/squidCache/log/access.log squid

    Solution here possibly… Ubuntu Forum – Squid config solution
