See logs/cache.log (or run squid with options -Nd3 to see the same
output on the screen while Squid is running).

A couple of guesses:
a) Maybe you haven't run "squid -z" to initialize the cache yet..
b) Another Squid is already running
c) Your Squid user does not have permission to write in one of the
needed directories (logs or cache)

acl only defines different classes, you must then use http_access to say
what access that class have, like the following:

# INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE TO ALLOW ACCESS FROM YOUR CLIENTS
#
acl angel 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.16
http_access allow angel
http_access deny all

Also, beware that your definition of angel matches
192.168.0.0-192.168.0.255 due to the netmask used. To match
192.168.0.0-192.168.0.16 use one of 192.168.0.0-192.168.0.16,
192.168.0.0/255.255.255.240 or 192.168.0.0/28
