Then you did not specify the correct server and/or port where cachemgr.cgi
should connect. This should be the same as your browsers are using for
talking to the proxy.

It may also be a firewall issue preventing cachemgr.cgi from talking to
the same.

This test does not rule out the firewall.

There is two traffic flows involved here

a) Browser <-> cachemgr.cgi on your web server on port 80

b) cachemgr.cgi on the web server <-> Squid on the proxy port

It is not a login problem.
