Is rc.local executable?
Is it executed?
What happens if you run
Code:
/etc/init.d/rc.local
from the command prompt
Any errors in the logfiles?

Kind regards

wow that was a mistake even I shouldn't have made:

Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local
[sudo] password for [my username]: 
Usage: /etc/init.d/rc.local start|stop

try the start option.
Look in the logfiles if you see any error messages concerning privoxy at boot

Perhaps a ubuntu user can help you further with the rc.local thing.

Kind regards

Im not sure why, but the problem *seems* to be fixed by simply replacing 127.0.0.1 with "localhost" in the firefox>preferences>advanced>connections. Oddly, several days ago, it was working fine with 127.0.0.1. Any ideas why this might be?


I will leave the thread not-solved, till I am sure that with reboot etc that this stays working.

I'm confused.
The original problem was privoxy that wasn't started after reboot.
How can replacing 127.0.0.1 with localhost solve the problem?

Kind regards

Yes I'm confused too, hence all the questions. Let me recap things from my beginners understanding of the timeline...1. I suddenly got the orig. error without (seemingly) changing settings. 2. Restarting/starting Privoxy, for some reason, allowed me to use privoxy. However, shortly it would then be unavailable (same error as orig. post). 3. The |start command also and script change "worked", but only till a restart. 4. I decided just to fiddle with it, and switched 127.0.0.1 to Localhost in both fields. Which seemingly made the fix permanent.
