Re: [squid-users] Squid refuses to cache requests.

Would you mind posting the items you've changed from defaaults in the
squid.conf? Perhaps there is something there that would explain it.

You may want to watch the store.log and cache.log as well, to see if
they will tell you why Squid isn't caching or isn't serving hits.
