Privoxy SOCKS4 forwarding error
I'm having a hard time making Privoxy work. (I'm trying to get it working in conjunction with Tor, but I don't think this problem is tor related).
Privoxy has its own user and group. I've configured firefox to use 127.0.0.1:8118 as a http and https proxy server. I've uncommented the forwarding lines in the privoxy config file as per http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/quickstart.html, including: Code:
forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 . The error message: Quote:

Since Privoxy returns the error page, have you uncommented and set the torrc ^Socks.* directives?

I haven't, but since I built tor from source, I don't yet have a torrc, just the included sample. As I said though, I don't believe this has anything to do with tor, because privoxy doesn't work when running on its own. If I disable the "Tor button" add-on, ensure there's nothing in the SOCKS proxy fields in the network settings (ie I remove tor's 127.0.0.1:9005 port info), and try to run firefox using just privoxy, I'm still getting the problem.
What does "write negotiation failed" mean - doesn't that mean the proxy connection to the TCP port 8118 on 127.0.0.1 was refused? (Oh, and for the sake of it, I've copied the sample torrc file and uncommented these lines: Quote:

Wow, it's working now. Trouble is, I didn't really learn anything because it mysteriously started working after a stack of updates and a new kernel. Thanks anyway.
