I generally advice against this.

The rule is that only one server can listen on the same ip:port. If you
want to run both Squid and Apache on the same box then either the IP or
port they listen on must be different and I recommend using different
IPs, for example the official IP for Squid, 127.0.0.1 for Apache.

One example:

acl myserver dstdomain your.accelerated.domain
acl http protocol http
acl port80 port 80

http_access allow myserver http port80
http_access deny all

This should not happen with Apache either.. most likely some other problem
causing this.
