Re: [squid-users] Squid refuses to cache requests.

Here are my changes to squid.conf. Keep in mind that squid was caching
content until I killed it and tried running it again. I'm curious if
squid leaves residual files around or something...because I killed it via
the PID...not the "squid -k shutdown" unfortunatly. Perhaps this left
things in an invalid state. I wiped the disk clean and did a full
re-install after that though, and still it refused to cache. Changes to
squid.conf are below....thanks for the assistance.

#Default:
cache_mem 8 MB
...
# cache_dir ufs /home/testacct15/squid/cache 100 16 256
cache_dir ufs /home/testacct15/squid/cache 100 16 256
....
http_access allow localhost
....
# cache_effective_user nobody
# cache_effective_group nogroup
cache_effective_user testacct15 # nobody
cache_effective_group nobody #
