We've spent the last two days trying to get squid 2.7 to work with ubuntu 9.10. The computer running ubuntu has two network interfaces: eth0 and eth1 with dhcp running on eth1. Both interfaces have static ip's, eth0 is connected to the Internet and eth1 is connected to our LAN.

We have followed literally dozens of different tutorials with no success. The tutorial here was the last one we did that actually got us some sort of results: http://www.basicconfig.com/linuxnetwork/setup_ubuntu_squid_proxy_server_beginner_guide.

When we try to access a site like seriouswheels.com from the LAN we get the following message on the client machine:


ERROR

The requested URL could not be retrieved

Invalid Request error was encountered while trying to process the request:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.seriouswheels.com
Connection: keep-alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.307.11 Safari/532.9

Some possible problems are:

Missing or unknown request method.

Missing URL.

Missing HTTP Identifier (HTTP/1.0).

Request is too large.

Content-Length missing for POST or PUT requests.

Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed.

Your cache administrator is webmaster.


Below are all the configuration files: /etc/squid/squid.conf, /etc/network/if-up.d/00-firewall, /etc/network/interfaces, /var/log/squid/access.log. Something somewhere is wrong but we cannot figure out where.

Our end goal for all of this is the superimpose content onto every page that a client requests on the LAN. We've been told that squid is the way to do this but at this point in the game we are just trying to get squid setup correctly as our proxy.

Thanks in advance.

You must tell squid that it is setup as a transparent system

Instead of

http_port 3128

You need

# enable the transparent option for interception caching
http_port 3128 transparent

  • Hi, Thanks for your help. I modified the config file and restarted squid. I'm getting a different error now: ACCESS DENIED. Below is my access.log and the text I see in the client browser. I think we're getting close here. LOG 1269292020.375 20 192.168.1.10 TCP_DENIED/403 1475 GET http://digg.com/ - NONE/- text/html 1269292020.450 0 192.168.1.10 TCP_DENIED/403 1497 GET http://digg.com/favicon.ico - NONE/- text/html – user38400 Mar 22 '10 at 21:14
  • CLIENT ERROR ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://digg.com/ 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. Your cache administrator is webmaster.

  • I found my error. This ip was incorrect: acl localnet src 192.168.0.0/24 => acl localnet src 192.168.1.0/24. Now I'm going across the proxy. Thank you very much! – user38400 Mar 22 '10 at 21:21
