[Apt-proxy-users] Re: apt-proxy-v2 (1.9.17) won't start under xinetd?

[Larry M. <Lar...@Sp...>]

Solved.

Chris replied that apt-proxy-v2 is a standalone daemon that doesn't (yet) run
under inetd or xinetd. If you have this problem, it's easy to fix under xinetd
even for noobs like me :)

* Save the apt-proxy xinetd service start-up file to a safe place (in
anticipation of xinetd support Real Soon Now), like so:

# mv /etc/xinetd.d/apt-proxy /usr/share/doc/apt-proxy # Or someplace

* Make sure apt-proxy is stopped, restart xinetd, then start apt-proxy:

# /etc/init.d/apt-proxy stop
Stopping apt-proxy.
# /etc/init.d/xinetd restart
Stopping internet superserver: xinetd.
Starting internet superserver: xinetd.
# /etc/init.d/apt-proxy start
Starting apt-proxy.
#

Works fine for me.

Thanks, Chris!
