        what version are you using?  ???

        I can see it on x86 and amd64 full hd install.

        squid
        squid-reverse
        squid3

        check both tabs.

        Available packages and Installed packages on system -> packages menu option

          @marcelloc:

          the gui shows /var/squid/log,

          try to look there instead of /var/squid/logs

          I've checked it last night and it was empty. I've double checked it now it's still empty.
          /var/squid/logs that is

          I like to fill my tub up with water, then turn the shower on and act like I'm in a submarine that's been hit!

            So change gui option to match your current dir.

            If gui points to a dir that does not exists, maybe your problem is there.

                I got to work!

                Friendly guy jigp from IRC channel pointed me to enable Transparent proxy under General tab after that /var/squid/log/access.log started to populate.

                Now I have to figure out how to cache youtube videos, ideas?

                BTW thank you for your help!

                    Are you referring to this project http://code.google.com/p/youtube-cache/
