Configuring Squid

Hie i am not sure whether this is the right thread. I have a samba server running and now i want to configure the squid to enable other company in my LAN to connect to the internet. I have failed to configure squid in the squid. conf text editor and i googled then come up with the GADmin Squid 0.1.0 version which is a GUI hoping to make my life easily as l am newbie in linux the resort to graphical mode. I had installed it but enountered to this error which i do not know how to move forward:

Is there anyone out there who have use this GADMIN squid to assist please.

 

The problem is you are trying to run squid 3.x using a squid 2.6.x config.

 

So what should l do to move forward, how do l remove the squid 3.0 or 2

 

squid is fairly easy to configure via the text editor, but default the config provided works allowing cache access for the localhost, to enable access for your lan all you need is to add the lan range to your acl. If you want a transparent proxy (force users to use squid) there are plenty of resources on that as well in fact the squid wiki provides examples on how u can do it.

If all that is too daunting you can use webmin to do the configuration as it supports squid 3.x

 

Thanks. Let me download webmin and install it if face complications l will come back. initial failed to configure the squid text editor that's why l have resort to GUI methods cause l am a learner to linux. Does webmin need some configurations and if so which areas should l pay attention to.

 

No really, it should pretty much work out of the box.

 

i have install webmin, now how should i remove the GADmin before l run Webmen

 

i have never used gadmin so i cannot say

 

When i start webmin squid i am getting the same errors as i had from the gadmin. what might be problem, i will send you the error log as i am using a different pc for internet.

 

Did you replace the file, that had been mangled by Gadmin ?

 

here is the error log webmin 1.450 and how do i replace that file
