I had this problem running privoxy under Ubuntu karmic with all available updates installed through 12 Dec 2009 :
Privoxy (version 2.0.0.23 (20090817)) installed but after a week or so, it would never actually load, whether started from the command line or by Vidalia. All of privoxy's files were in the correct places. Reinstalling privoxy did not help. The appropriate lines in privoxy config were all enabled, eg, 'forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .' I cured this problem by searching privoxy's config file for EVERY active, ie, enabled, config line which contained 'localhost'. There were several and I eventually changed them all to: '127.0.0.1'. On the first go, I overlooked an instance of localhost on an enabled config line and privoxy would not run until I changed every such instance in the config file to 127.0.0.1 Since then it has loaded and run perfectly. I hope this helps someone.... -- privoxy not start at boot - karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427625 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
