I would not bother switching paths now as you already have it all up and running for squid 2.6 .If you want to use squid3, then you also have to move your squid.conf file from /etc/squid/squid.conf (squid 2.6) to /etc/squid3/squid.conf (squid3) to keep the same settings as you had before. Then I would remove squid and keep squid3.Check if squid3 is running as service by looking at the /var/log/squid3/cache.logAlso if webmin is looking for the "squid" executable, I think the correct one is called "squid3" @UbuntuLinuxHelp

No problem. I would not bother switching paths now as you already have it all up and running for squid 2.6 .

If you want to use squid3, then you also have to move your squid.conf file from /etc/squid/squid.conf (squid 2.6)
to /etc/squid3/squid.conf (squid3)
to keep the same settings as you had before.
Then I would remove squid and keep squid3.

Check if squid3 is running as service by looking at the /var/log/squid3/cache.log

Also if webmin is looking for the “squid” executable, I think the correct one is called “squid3″

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to go through the file system to check (I haven't browsed the files for a while now) and find Squid3, to switch the pathing to it.Thanks muchly for the help! :) @atass

Avoid installing Squid via webmin cause it will install Squid 2.6 regardless if you have squid 3 installed

I'm using squid and dansguardian to help out a school with a super tight budget get faster filtered internet access. I donated a spare PC and it's been brilliant. As most students search google for the same terms and hit the first 10 or so links there all surfing the same pages. Internet usage has gone down and the speed has increased. This is really nice.
