Category: configuration Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Vista + Privoxy 3.0.13beta: Services not starting Initial Comment: Hi Yesterday I changed my laptop and the new one came with Vista. I installed Privoxy 3.0.13beta without any problem and once I notice that the GUI window does not show the activity, I installed Privoxy as a service. However, the service does not start. I read the manual saying: After invoking Privoxy with --install, you will need to bring up the Windows service console to assign the user you want Privoxy to run under, and whether or not you want it to run whenever the system starts. You can start the Windows services console with the following command: services.msc. If you do not take the manual step of modifying Privoxy's service settings, it will not start. Note too that you will need to give Privoxy a user account that actually exists, or it will not be permitted to write to its log and configuration files. I have not been able to start it and/or give it proper permission. Can someone please walk me through it? Many thanks indeed AZ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2009-06-24 21:51 Message: I have disabled UAC but still no use. The GUI windows does not show/log the connections. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2009-06-23 15:34 Message: Vista does not allow a program that is running as a service to have access to the interactive GUI. For example the program can't add an icon to the system tray or create an interactive window. That is by Microsoft's design. You might have some luck by disabling UAC but of course doing that has a global impact. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2009-06-23 12:50 Message: Update: I added the services but it did not run while the privoxy application is running Restarted the computer: The service will run but Privoxy application does not launch with the error that another application is bound to 127.0.0.1:8118 Uninstalled 3.0.13beta Installed 3.0.12 The exact same thing. Privoxy is running but the GUI window does not show/log activity and I need to see the connections. Any ideas? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=211118&aid=2810810&group_id=11118 |
