Hi Jordi. I cannot get that new version to work. Following upgrade, tinyproxy 
stops working. The installer moves the configuration files around, and the 
proxy no longer shows a listening port.

netstat -a no longer shows a listening port for tinyproxy

The configuration files for application programs should be stored in a 
subdirectory of /etc, rather than directly in the /etc directory.

Rationale

This enables the application directory to be used as a shared network resource 
without the need to share the whole of the /etc directory.

So /etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf is preferred over /etc/tinyproxy.conf for a 
configuration file.

Anyhow, I do a bit of manual configuration jiggery pokery, and get the 
configuration file back to normal, and I now manage to get the listening port 
to show in netstat.

However, there is a problem. The remote host cannot connect to the port:

netstat -a reveals:

tcp        0      0 localhost.localdom:8888 *:*                     LISTEN 

On the old version this read:

tcp        0      0 *:8888 *:*                     LISTEN

I think the localhost.localdom entry is preventing the remote host from 
connecting to the proxy, so I have not been able to conduct any operational 
tests. The browser now errors with:

Proxy Server Refused Connection

The connection was refused when attempting to contact the proxy server you have 
configured. Please check your proxy settings and try again.

Mark.
