The first thing I do is run this command to make the squid.conf readable with a backup file so I can lookup other sections if needed.
Code:
# Trim down the squid.conf
sed -i.bak '/^$/d; /^#/d' /etc/squid/squid.conf
I also make the realm name shorter so it's less confusing
Code:
auth_param basic realm caching_server
I was able to get your error when my ip address didn't match the ip range in
our_networks. So, check to be sure you are actually on that network or change it in the squid.conf
Code:
acl our_networks src 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24
Here's what does work on my system...
Code:
auth_param basic realm caching_server
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hour
auth_param basic casesensitive off
