Don't know what exactly happened. Try to make telnet to your squid box at the
squid's port to check out the squid is really running, not respawning and
closing all the time. Assuming your http_port is 3130 you should make this:

telnet localhost 3130

and check out for establishing connection. If it is runninng, your problem could
be bad ACL setup.

Then you should look at:
 /usr/local/squid/squid.out
 /usr/local/squid/logs/cache.log
 /usr/local/squid/logs/access.log

 BTW: is that allowed to use capitals in "allow" and "deny" in acls?
