Description RB 2016-09-13 13:55:11 UTC

Description of problem:

Privoxy does not work on my system. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

privoxy-3.0.26-1.fc23.i686 

How reproducible:

It happens every time I try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install privoxy
2. service privoxy start
3. systemctl status privoxy.service

Actual results:

root# service privoxy start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start  privoxy.service
Job for privoxy.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status privoxy.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

root# systemctl status privoxy.service

Additional info:

I noticed is was not working because it is not available to my python code or browser. Even if I run 

/usr/sbin/privoxy /etc/privoxy/config

Comment 1 Gwyn Ciesla 2016-09-13 14:12:28 UTC

What does journalctl -xe show?

Comment 2 RB 2016-09-13 18:16:17 UTC

(In reply to Jon Ciesla from comment #1)
> What does journalctl -xe show?

Thanks for the prompt reply,Jon.

Below is the output of journalctl. I must also mention that I just found out privoxy does run with the --no-daemon option... of course I would like it to work as a service (this was excluded from the log below).

Comment 3 Gwyn Ciesla 2016-09-23 14:30:33 UTC

Sorry for the delay.

I tested on f24 x86_64 and it works out of the box, I'm posting this using it. :)

I'll see if I can set up a f23 VM.

Comment 4 Gwyn Ciesla 2016-09-23 17:35:44 UTC

I set up a f23 32-bit VM.  I updated it, installed privoxy, and it works.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-25 09:34:58 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 21:32:54 UTC

Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
