Hi Kinkie,

Okay. I mentioned that Apache and Squid are on the same machine so httpd.conf
has this directive:

Listen 127.0.0.1:80

Here is the config for one of the websites for which I am doing reverse proxy:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@wananchi.com
        DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data/domainname.tld
        ServerName domainname.tld
        ServerAlias www.domainname.tld
        ErrorLog /var/log/domainname-error_log
        CustomLog /var/log/domainname-access_log common
        <Directory /usr/local/www/data/domainname.tld/>
                Order Allow,Deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>
<Directory /usr/local/www/data/domainname.tld/phpmyadmin4suntra/>
  Options Indexes Includes MultiViews
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "SIB Admin Centre...Authentication required"
  AuthUserFile /usr/local/www/data/domainname.tld/.fauxpasswd
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow from all
  ErrorDocument 402 http://www.domainname.tld/apache_error/error401.html
  <LIMIT GET POST>
   Require valid-user
  </LIMIT>
 </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

And my squid.conf entry is as before. I have tried adding login=PASS, but still
authentication does not work as expected.

I am still missing something, and I'd hate if it's rather obvious ;)
