[squid-users] Squid 3.4.6 is not caching anything

I have tried deleting the cache and setting its size to 10GB. I ran squid -z
again and it created the directories before squid -z froze. The maximum
object size is set to 5GB, and I have checked some sites using redbot.org to
see if the can be cached or not. It says that they can, and I have had the
squid proxy running for about 48 hrs now with about 50 clients connected. I
have scanned the access.log and there is not a single hit. Even if the same
page is requested many times.

Are there some settings that I am missing in squid.conf that is stopping the
cache from working? Do you know where I can obtain a already compiled x86
package for Debian 7 with --enable-ssl and --enable-ssl-crtd?

Thanks for your help so far.
