Category: startup Group: 3.0.21 >Status: Closed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: ken wood (kentek314) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Windows 8 and 8.1 Initial Comment: I know that the Privoxy 3.0.21 product is used mostly on Linux and developed there, too. That said, there are a lot of Win 8 potential users. I am one of them. The install information is not too helpful. I do not know if Win 8 is supported. I am unable to get the Privoxy Service to start- error is 1067 which in Win 8 land could be anything. The service has been created but not started- Manual start does not work. Error is that Privoxy cannot bind to 127.0.0.1:8118 possible some other program using port. I have configured Firefox proxy setting as advised: HTTP and SSL 127.0.0.1 port 8118 I have created rules in Win 8 Firewall that opens port 8118 to Privoxy.exe. Using NMAP I scanned localhost and port 8118 is being used by Privoxy. Errosr is 1067. In services I assigned the admin as user. Still no joy! Hardware is 64bit running Win 8.1 (preview) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: ken wood (kentek314) Date: 2013-08-04 11:47 Message: Well now, looks like Privoxy decided it is running as the URL to config page now works. I didn't change anything. It may be that Win 8 just doesn't want to give real feedback. BTW: I was able to installed and start Privoxy in minutes on my Raspberry Pi. All is well. kentek314 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: ken wood (kentek314) Date: 2013-08-04 11:47 Message: I think this is a manifestation of the "100% CPU" problem. What happens is some site has massive amounts of whitespace in their HTML that you don't ultimately see, but Privoxy spends a lot of time trying to filter it all. The interim solution is to keep Privoxy from filtering that particular site in the user.action file. Of course, once Privoxy starts spinning, it'll need to be killed and restarted. The problem is in the js-annoyances and the unsolicited-popups filters. If you turn those off in general (or for your problem site(s) in particular) I think you'll have better luck. Can you please give that a try? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=211118&aid=3614871&group_id=11118 |
