Then run this

  grep "^[a-z]" squid.conf >squid.conf.new
  mv squid.conf.new squid.conf

and then see the QUICKSTART on what you must configure and use
squid.conf.default as a reference manual if you wonder about syntax & 
meaning.

If you have made any changes to the http_access directives then please see 
the suggested defaults in squid.conf.default and make sure yours does not 
conflict with these.

To get a better understanding of the access controls, please read Squid
FAQ chapter 10 Access Controls. It explains the concepts involved and how
they fit together far better than the comments in squid.conf.default.

The configurations needed beyond what the QUICKSTART mentions is pretty 
much site specific.
