Squid Server Error on CentOS 6.2

Post by mashkoor.qadir »

Dear All,


I have installed a and configured squid with CentOS 6.2.... so for i have simply configured it. but it is giving the error

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://google.com/

Unable to determine IP address from host name google.com

The DNS server returned:

TimeoutThis means that the cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL. Check if the address is correct.

Your cache administrator is root.


the main configuration file is here
# Recommended minimum configuration:
#
visible_hostname cache.redmath.com

#My network
acl rmnet src 192.168.0.0/24 # RFC1918 possible internal network

acl manager proto cache_object
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 ::1

acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http
acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker
acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http

#
# Recommended minimum Access Permission configuration:
#
# Only allow cachemgr access from localhost
http_access allow manager localhost
http_access deny manager

# Deny requests to certain unsafe ports
http_access deny !Safe_ports

# Deny CONNECT to other than secure SSL ports
http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports

# We strongly recommend the following be uncommented to protect innocent
# web applications running on the proxy server who think the only
# one who can access services on "localhost" is a local user
#
# INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE TO ALLOW ACCESS FROM YOUR CLIENTS
#
# Example rule allowing access from your local networks.
# Adapt localnet in the ACL section to list your (internal) IP networks
# from where browsing should be allowed

http_access allow rmnet

http_access allow localnet
http_access allow localhost

# And finally deny all other access to this proxy
http_access deny all

# Squid normally listens to port 3128
http_port 8080

# We recommend you to use at least the following line.
hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ?

# Uncomment and adjust the following to add a disk cache directory.
#cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 100 16 256

# Leave coredumps in the first cache dir
coredump_dir /var/spool/squid

# Add any of your own refresh_pattern entries above these.
refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080
refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440
refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0
refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320

the resolve .conf file is as
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 10.16.6.56

and also host name entry as my severs name
instead of that it gives the same message ho to get rid of this.

Thanks in advance.

It seems to be the problem is in your ACL definition.
Define ACL in proper syntax like mentioned below.

acl allow-all src "/etc/squid/acl/allow-all-ips" ## All net Allowed IPS ##################
acl servers-ips src "/etc/squid/acl/servers-ips" ## Server IPS ###########################
acl accountsip src "/etc/squid/acl/accountsip" ## Accounts & HR IP's ##################
acl accountsallow dstdomain "/etc/squid/acl/accountsallow" ## Accounts & HR Allow Sites ############
acl urlregex url_regex "/etc/squid/acl/urlregex" ## Words Rejected if in URL #############
acl voltadown dstdomain "/etc/squid/acl/voltadown" ## Avoid URL Rejection ##################
acl managers src "/etc/squid/acl/managers-ips" ## Managers IP's ##################
acl allownet src "/etc/squid/acl/allownet-ips" ## Limited Net Allow Ips ################
acl managers-block dstdomain "/etc/squid/acl/managers-blocksites" ## Blocked for Managers #################
acl block-sites dstdomain "/etc/squid/acl/block-sites" ## Blocked for Below Managers ###########
acl D-M src "/etc/squid/acl/dm-ips" ## DM IP's #######################
acl DM-allow dstdomain "/etc/squid/acl/dm-sites" ## DM Allow Sites #######################
acl A-M src "/etc/squid/acl/am-ips" ## AM IP's ##############################
acl EXE src "/etc/squid/acl/executive-ips" ## Executive IP's #######################
acl proc src "/etc/squid/acl/proc-ips" ## Proc-ips #############################
acl proc-allow dstdomain "/etc/squid/acl/proc-sites" ## Proc Allowed Sites ###################
acl officers src "/etc/squid/acl/officer-ips" ## Officers Ip's ########################
acl off-allow dstdomain "/etc/squid/acl/off-sites" ## Officers Allowed Sites ###############

Try to set DNS Options in Squid.conf and see the results..
dns_retransmit_interval 15 seconds
dns_timeout 15 minutes // Adjust according to your requirement..
dns_nameservers 127.0.0.1 8.8.8.8 207.218.192.38 207.218.192.39// Set IPs of DNS Servers
// Also "pdnsd" is best solutions, you may configure and test it with squid for fast name resolution.
