More testing. Tested purging privoxy (aptitude purge privoxy) and then installing it again (aptitude install privoxy). then: # invoke-rc.d privoxy stop # mv /etc/privoxy/default.action /etc/privoxy/default.action.ignore # invoke-rc.d privoxy start # ps auxww | grep privoxy root 7077 0.0 0.0 324 24 pts/0 R+ 18:07 0:00 grep privoxy still no output, or running process. So I ran: # sh -x /etc/init.d/privoxy start > output 2>&1 So maybe it will help provide more information. after, it, I reverted the move, and tested that it still worked. # mv default.action.ignore default.action # invoke-rc.d privoxy start # ps auxww | grep privoxy privoxy 7100 0.0 0.0 21280 1292 ?

Yes, it was logged to the logfile. Mar 04 18:13:51.060 7f0fafe606f0 Fatal error: can't load actions file '/etc/privoxy/default.action': No such file or directory. Note that beginning with Privoxy 3.0.7, actions files have to be specified with their complete file names. no other text in the log. Im running lsb-base on version 3.2-20 (Debian unstable).
