[squid-users] Trying to forward to another proxy revisited

"Squid FAQ 4.9 How do I configure Squid forward all requests to another
proxy?"

 For your convienience -

"First, you need to give Squid a parent cache. Second, you need to tell
Squid it can not connect directly to origin servers. This is done with
three configuration file lines:

        cache_peer parentcache.foo.com parent 3128 0 no-query default
        acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
        never_direct allow all

Note, with this configuration, if the parent cache fails or becomes
unreachable, then every request will result in an error message."

 My config file has

        cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 8118 0 no-query default
        acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
        never_direct allow all

in it but I don't think it is working. What is wrong with this configuration?

 My setup will eventually be:-

Browser -> Squid:3128 -> Privoxy:8118 -> ssh -D 8080

 I can test each link one at a time but I'm not sure how to test all of
them at once.

Offtopic but for interest:
 The socks section of my config file is
"forward-socks4 / 127.0.0.1:8080 ."

 I noticed someone else raised this before but I don't think the
forwarding is working for me - when I set my browser proxy to squid on
127.0.0.1:3128 and go to the privoxy test page (config.privoxy.org) it
says that "Privoxy is not running".

 How can I tell if Squid is the problem or Privoxy?
