Privoxy not starting out-of the box #12

Closed miraenator closed 7 years ago

miraenator commented 7 years ago

Hi, I've tried to start the privoxy. It did not work (tested with curl example).

When tried to run it manually, the following error message appeared:

2017-03-21 10:25:54.982 7f204f467300 Fatal error: can't bind to :::8118: There may be another Privoxy or some other proxy running on port 8118

Of course, this was not true, nothing was running on the port (checked with netstat). This was related to IPV6, simple fix was to delete this line from /etc/privoxy/config and let it use only IPV4.

The netconfig is:

# ip addr show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
274: eth0: <BROADCAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default 
    link/ether 02:42:ac:11:00:87 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 172.17.0.135/16 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::42:acff:fe11:87/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

I'm using debian-jessie (current) with docker.

thanx for fixing

Thank you for the report! I set it up a while ago but haven't really used it much. I don't know how long it's been broken. I just pushed an update that should fix it.
