Its probably a problem with your web-server. Do as I say.

  1. Try to browse http://192.168.10.1/video_cache/ from your browser. If its not browsable, that means its a problem with your web server.
  2. If there is no problem in step 1. Open logfile youtube_cache.log . Go to a line with CACHE_HIT . Now there will be a line with NEW_URL and it will look like 303:http://192.168.10.1/video_cache/youtube/.flv? . Copy that url and try to open in your browser. This will give you the exact error.

It seems that you have not configured your youtube cache properly. Open /etc/youtube_cache.conf and check the proxy , cache_host are properly configured.
Secondly, your Apache is not able to access /var/spool/squid/video_cache. That may be due to several reasons.
1. You have selinux enabled and thats preventing access. Try disabling SELINUX using 'setenforce 0' on command line and restart httpd service.
2. You iptables firewall is preventing access. Try disabling your firewall using 'service iptables stop' and restart httpd service.

If none of the above tricks work, please share more information like your operating system, which version of youtube cache you are using? How did you install (from rpm or source)?
