Re: Starting privoxy at startup

2006-04-01 Thread Oliver Iberien 
I've solved this, after a fashion. Thanks again for your help. It turns out 
that the logfile directory, /var/log/privoxy, was accessible by root only, 
even with permissions changed. (Is this a basic BSD security thing? I googled 
that a little but was not sure.) I guessed it has been done for a reason and 
did not try to break it.

So, I changed the location for logfile to /usr/local/etc/privoxy/log, copied 
the files from /var/log/privoxy there, changed their permissions, and put a 
little shell script in ~./.kde/Autostart to start privoxy and to point to the 
config file.

My guess is that user privoxy could not get into /var/log/privoxy either, and 
that with the logfile directory changed and with all the flags 
(user=privoxy, /usr/local/etc/privoxy/conf) set in rc.conf, it would have 
worked as well. 

I don't know how to set two flags at once (my guess is a line saying 
privoxy_flags=user privoxy, /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config
but I am not sure of the format and couldn't find documentation.

Thanks,

Oliver

 Configuration files go in /usr/local/etc/privoxy/ not /var/log.

 Sorry, no idea. I'm not privoxy expert, just a user. I can show you what
 I have working, but that's about it.

 Here's a listing of the configuration files in my installation. Most if
 not all of these were installed by the port. If you don't have them, I
 would reinstall the port.

Sorry to drag this out, but I still have not got this to work. I've looked at

There is just the conf file and the stuff in /var/log, right? How should

 Here's /usr/local/etc/privoxy.sh.  Remember, try just these two lines in
 /etc/rc.conf:

  privoxy_enable=YES
  privoxy_flags=-- user privoxy

If you comment out

\
1/dev/null 21

in the start script, Privoxy should give you a reason why it
doesn't start.

And no, Privoxy also needs at least read access to the filter
and action files. Read access to the templates will be appreciated
as well, but shouldn't cause start problems.

You probably want Privoxy to be able to write to the action files,
otherwise you can't modify them with the web interface.

I believe you can change the configfile only in the start
script itself.

I put the following two variables in /etc/rc.conf, and privoxy finds
