Privoxy-3.0.28

dodoLQ · 08-11-2020, 01:00 PM

Hi, i've compiled and installed Privoxy-3.0.28 on Slackware ARM-current (using a personnal SlackBuild from x86_64), that works but on next boot, a special directory (/var/run/privoxy) is removed! So privoxy can't start.. I don't have this pb on Slackware64

Thanks

rc.S: make /var/run a bind mount to /run. Thanks to Robby Workman.

You could create /var/run/privoxy (put mkdir /var/run/privoxy in /etc/rc.d/rc.local) before launching privoxy. Or, configure privoxy to store its pid file in /run (maybe a recompilation is required).

Thanks for the tip

I'll simply put put these lines in rc.local:

Code:

mkdir -m 700 -p /var/run/privoxy
chown privoxy:privoxy /var/run/privoxy
/etc/rc.d/rc.privoxy start
