somewhat of an update, I get the same error with Midiori and Opera. I 
have tried the following:

1. completely remove all privoxy files.;
2. installed an older version.;
3. reinstalled privoxy 3.0.23-8.8.1.;
4. tried to enable logging by doing:
           logdir /var/log/privoxy;
           logfile logfile;
           debug 1 1024 8192

but nothing is being written to the log file.

I have either not enabled logging properly or something else is 
happening or not happening.
I am willing to try anything else including downloading the source and 
compiling it.

What can I do next?
