[squid-users] Prox Auth Failure

Guys,

I think I have to resign myself to ask the question. After a couple of
days on the internet and buying the a book on SQUID i still can't make
the auth_param work. Accept my apologies if this is really a dum
question
I am trying to use proxy_auth. I am using SQUID Proxy 3.1.12 on a
slackware box running 13.37.
SQUID is running like a charme but I can't get NCSA to work. SQUID was
compiled with NCSA. Here is my config

acl auth_users proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow auth_users
*************************************************************
auth_param basic program /etc/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/passwd - For
this line, I did try to move the ncsa from /usr/libexec to /etc/squid
but I did try PATH /usr/libexec/ncsa_auth as well which yielded the
same error
***********************************************************
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
auth_param basic credentialsttl 4 hours
auth_param basic casesensitive off
Step 3 : run the command-line

every single time I get the error:
Can't use proxy auth because no authentication schemes are fully configured.

Here is the output of squid -v

Squid Cache: Version 3.1.12
configure options: '--prefix=/usr' '--libdir=/usr/lib64'
'--sysconfdir=/etc/squid' '--localstatedir=/var/log/squid'
'--datadir=/usr/share/squid' '--with-pidfile=/var/run/squid'
'--mandir=/usr/man' '--with-logdir=/var/log/squid' '--enable-snmp'
'--enable-auth=basic' '--enable-basic-auth-helpers=NCSA'
'--enable-linux-netfilter' '--enable-async-io'
'--build=x86_64-slackware-linux' 'build_alias=x86_64-slackware-linux'
'CFLAGS=-O2 -fPIC' 'CXXFLAGS=-O2 -fPIC'
--with-squid=/tmp/SBo/squid-3.1.12

Again, my apologies if I am really being dum but would surely
appreciate some help.

Regards,
