Squid proxy transparent howto

Asked by Dayo Olutayo

I conduct a search for why my squid proxy "transparent" is not working, I found this;

" In package 2.6.1-3ubuntu1 , the transparent option in squid.conf is broken in Squid upstream version 2.6.RELEASE1. This has been fixed in 2.6.RELEASE2.

Recommend 2.6.RELEASE2 be added to edgy-backports."

Please how do I carry out the backporting?

Hello,

If you are still using Ubuntu Edgy Eft (released October 2006), I recommend you upgrading to a newer Version of Ubuntu Linux.

The Bug you mention should be fixed in Ubuntu since April last year.

Thanks for the support but I am using 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron

According to apt, squid is at version 2.6.18-1ubuntu3 for hardy.
If you have all hardy packages installed then the information you found does not apply to you and there must be some other reason that squid is not working for you.
