Re: [squid-users] webmails are not accessible - SQUID 2.5.STABLE12

Hi Peter,

No, this is only the https rule, I wrote it done to illustrate that the
https ports are open.
All http traffic are opened.

Could you please give me the commands needed to install SQUID 2.6
according to tek's advise.
I got the file from the site, I have some worries as the upgrade might
affect the current setup!

Thank you,
Simsam

Hi Simsam,

Is this your only http_access rule? That would mean you only allow https
connections and no http connections.

If you only allow https as mentioned above, that will always be denied. Do

http connections to other servers work?

This does not look like a Squid message denying access ... Please send all

your ACL and http_access rules from squid.conf so that we can have a look.
