[squid-users] What could be the reason? "client: ERROR: Cannot connect to localhost:8080: Connection refused"

Hi guys,

When trying the following from the localhost:

./squidclient -p 8080 http://www.netscape.com

I get the error:
client: ERROR: Cannot connect to localhost:8080: Connection refused

in my squid.conf I have modified:

http_port 8080
cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/cache 1024 16 256
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
http_access allow localhost
cache_effective_user squid
cache_effective_group squid

The access log file did NOT log that attempt!

I just want to run squid as a cache for testing purposes only.
Testing Squid 2.5STABLE3 on RH 9.0

Thanks in advance for all your inputs.

Sincerely,

LC
