 Ok I found a way to start it, the problem I had was with the acl that
blocked my forbidden websites. It seems that everytime I tried to start
it with this acl enabled:
.
.
acl pron url_regex "/etc/squid/nosex"
.
.
http_access deny pron

the squid always failed to start and generate the errors above. If I
comment the acl then the squid works perfectly. I tried creating a new
file and copying some of the websites on that file(nosex) to the new one
and squid works fine, if I copy all of them then the error comes back.

Any ideas?
Also, how good are those filters like DansGuardian and SquidGuard?
Because I have a huge porn problem there that needs urgent attention and
since I cant get the whole blacklist I have I need another solution.

Thanks (all the way from Honduras,Central America baby),
Mario
