I get the following error every time I try to go to 
http://config.privoxy.org/


  500 Internal Privoxy Error

Privoxy encountered an error while processing your request:

*Could not load template file |default| or one of its included components.*

Please contact your proxy administrator.

If you are the proxy administrator, please put the required file(s)in 
the |/(confdir)//templates| directory. The location of the |/(confdir)/| 
directory is specified in the main Privoxy |config| file. (It's 
typically the Privoxy install directory, or |/etc/privoxy/|).

I am using OpenSUSE Leap 42.1 with Firefox 42.0 Build 2015103000. I get 
the same error using Chrome or Opera

I set debug as follows:

debug     1 # Log the destination for each request Privoxy let through. 
See also debug 1024.
debug     2 # show each connection status
debug     4 # show I/O status
debug     8 # show header parsing
debug    16 # log all data written to the network
debug    32 # debug force feature

I get the following log file:

There is a file called 'default.filter' in /etc/privoxy/'

Any help would be appreciated
