Your squid.conf may be using the Safe_Ports ACL.. or you were trying to
access your site while using the same Squid as a proxy (won't work,
squid will proxy the request to itself, and then the accelerator
functions will reject the request thinking it is a loop). If that is the
cause then you need to use a redirector to do the same job as
httpd_accel_host does on accelerated requests.

Note that I strongly suggest you to move the HTTP server to port 80.
Running the HTTP server on a different port than the "accelerator" will
give you problems. The most obvious problem is that users will quite
often be automatically moved to the non-accelerated port by the web
server sending a redirect or CGI generated link.

How to run both the HTTP server and "accelerator" on the same port on
the same machine: Bind each of them to different IP addresses. Bind
Squid to the official IP address, and the HTTP server to 127.0.0.1.
