Did you check the squid logs to see what the problem was? The cache
log is the one you'll be looking for. Since you didn't define a
value for it it'll use the default, which is most likely:

  /var/log/squid/cache.log

You can configure it explicitly using this syntax in the squid
config:

cache_log /var/log/squid/cache.log

(on that subject, I'd also recommend making sure you have an
access_log configured as well)

If this is a verbatim dump of your config, then the first problem I
spotted was that you define an acl called "busness-hours", but then
later reference "business-hours".

The squid log should give you some info about the problem. If you
still can't solve it, include the relevant part of the log when you
ask for help here, as not everyone will copy your config to a test
squid to see what happens. It's also usually a good idea to include
the exact version number of the squid you're using.
