Very strange. Maybe a wrong boot order, which first starts privoxy and after this it initializes the loopback interfaces with the localhost IP? Could you please have a look into your /etc/network/interfaces. How is your loopback interface ("lo") configured? Is there a "auto lo" entry in this file? Could you send my the output of ls -l /etc/rc?.d/*ifupdown /etc/rc?.d/*privoxy or (if you are using file-rc) the output of egrep 'privoxy|ifupdown' /etc/runlevel.conf > In /var/log/privoxy/logfile I found these messages: > [...] > Feb 19 18:00:59.713 Privoxy(b7dd96b0) Fatal error: can't bind to > localhost:8118: The hostname is not resolvable > Feb 19 20:01:13.748 Privoxy(b7e816b0) Fatal error: can't bind to > 127.0.0.1:8118: The hostname is not resolvable > [...] Hmmm, okay, a missing interface lo seems to give a different error: Feb 21 13:07:52.147 Privoxy(7fe1d79346e0) Info: Listening on port 8118 on IP address localhost Feb 21 13:07:52.148 Privoxy(7fe1d79346e0) Fatal error: can't bind to localhost:8118: because Cannot assign requested address So maybe there's a problem with your host name resolving at all. Could you please have a look at the "hosts" entry in your /etc/nsswitch.conf? Mine says: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 So it first looks into files and on dns after this. Maybe yours uses a different order and tries to start privoxy at boot before a nameserver is started, while /etc/hosts is ignored or tried later? > My hosts file contents: > > 127.0.0.1 localhost > 127.0.1.1 tuxie.local tuxie Very strange. The hostname localhost should be resolvable via your hosts file. 127.0.0.1 should not be resolved, Tschoeeee Roland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
