The below line is not same for all Linux Versions, I think its different in RED HAT LINUX 8 and RED HAT 9
Just chk this line ..means Is this line is default written like this only in your Linux Version?Just chk it
auth_param basic prram /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid_passwd
If above is ok then , Try this
Remove all http_access tags , other then this:
Means just add these tags , remove all others http_access tags
http_access allow ncsa_users
http_access deny all
If still it will not run , then Just tell me wheather u have made this file
/etc/squid/squid_passwd
and Added ncsa users to it?
