From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Galeon/1.3.14 Description of problem: When privoxy is started with "service privoxy start" (or during booting), it fails to load the configuration file as it has a fatal error when reading the actions file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): privoxy-3.0.3-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Execute "service privoxy start" Actual Results: Starting privoxy: Apr 10 20:03:39 Privoxy(-1207934848) Info: loading configuration file '/etc/privoxy/config': Apr 10 20:03:39 Privoxy(-1207934848) Fatal error: can't load actions file '/etc/privoxy/standard.action': invalid line (70): { -add-header -block -crunch-outgoing-cookies -crunch-incoming-cookies -deanimate-gifs -downgrade-http-version -fast-redirects +filter{js-annoyances} -filter{js-events} +filter{html-annoyances} -filter{content-cookies} -filter{refresh-tags} +filter{unsolicited-popups} -filter{all-popups} -filter{img-reorder} +filter{banners-by-size} -filter{banners-by-link} +filter{webbugs} -filter{tiny-textforms} -filter{jumping-windows} -filter{frameset-borders} -filter{demoronizer} -filter{shockwave-flash} -filter{quicktime-kioskmode} -filter{fun} -filter{crude-parental} -filter{ie-exploits} -filter{site-specifics} -handle-as-image +hide-forwarded-for-headers +hide-from-header{block} -hide-referrer -hide-user-agent -kill-popups -limit-connect +prevent-compression -send-vanilla-wafer -send-wafer -session-cookies-only +set-image-blocker{pattern} } [FAILED] Expected Results: That privoxy starts successfully. Additional info: This is using the default configuration files supplied by the rpm.
Removal and reinstallation of privoxy fixed the problem. (Although, I had to manually add the user "privoxy" when re-installing as the rpm didn't do it properly.)
