RE: commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 17 to *:80: (13) Permission denied

Permission denied means that you didn't start Squid with the necessary priviledges.
Start it as root but use a user like 'www' in the configuration file (and make 'www' the owner of the cache-dir).

Hello,

I want to use Squid with transparent proxy.

I have put the following lines in squid.conf:

        http_port 80
        icp_port 3130
        httpd_accel virtual 80
        httpd_accel_with_proxy on

The cannot open HTTP error occurs when I am using http_port 80.
It does not occur when I am using port 3128. I also tried to keep the
httpd_accel en the httpd_accel_with_proxy commented out as in the
original squid.conf file, but this doesn't make any difference either.

I am running Linux 2.0.30, and I really want to stick to this version.
That's
why I want to use port 80. Transparent proxy for linux 2.0.30 is said to
be broken, but the redirect to the same port should work (at least I hope
so).
