I got the ip of localhost corrected and know what it is used for.
But that is not the problem. I want to use squid to process data going
to my Firefox but it will not load on my Ubuntu. Here is what it says:
Unpacking squid-common (from .../squid-common_2.6.14-1ubuntu2.1_all.deb) ...
Selecting previously deselected package squid.
Unpacking squid (from .../squid_2.6.14-1ubuntu2.1_i386.deb) ...
Setting up squid-common (2.6.14-1ubuntu2.1) ...
Setting up squid (2.6.14-1ubuntu2.1) ...
Creating squid spool directory structure
FATAL: Could not determine fully qualified hostname. Please set
'visible_hostname'
So I need a 'visable hostname' but know that the ip is 127.0.0.1

Just out of curiosity...for what purpose are you using squid?* Squid is used mainly as a proxy server for companies to restrict access to non-productive and inappropriate websites.

It is a very good filter of popup and other CRAP people send with
their web pages.
I never see them if I can get squid and proxi loaded and working.

Not knowing if you are using a gui to admin squid, i.e. swat or webmin, we'll
look squid.conf directly.
Within the file /etc/squid/squid.conf look under the heading
ADMINISTRATIVE PARAMETERS
for the tag
# TAG: visible_hostname
# If you want to present a special hostname in error messages, etc,
# define this. Otherwise, the return value of gethostname()
# will be used. If you have multiple caches in a cluster and
# get errors about IP-forwarding you must set them to have individual
# names with this setting.
#
#Default:
# none
run the command hostname
root@gateway:~# hostname
gateway
For squid to start, I insert the tag into squid.conf: (below TAG:
visible_hostname or at the end of file is fine)
visible_hostname gateway.localnet
and restart squid
you can use a name such as hostname.site , hostname.mynetwork , etc., it
doesn't really matter.
HTH,

I am using /etc/squid.conf to control squid. This is how it should
be. You do not need a thing to control it but an editor.
What I want to do is from a web page and I had it running in Fedora
8 just fine. The web page is:
This is written for a Fedora user but I see no reason yet why it will
not work on Ubuntu.

Not true, you need some common sense also!
Read squid.conf, edit TAG: visible_hostname, and get on with it.

I have done many things to that tag. Is it asking too much for you
to give a hint as to what I should do besides un-commenting it?
Bet you can't :-)
