Why is there no logfile for my privoxy?

  • 772

There are two lines in /etc/privoxy/config:

logdir /var/log/privoxy
logfile logfile

The command curl -x "127.0.0.1:8118" https://www.yahoo.com has been executed many times.

cat /var/log/privoxy/logfile

Why is there nothing in the log file /var/log/privoxy/logfile?

  1. Try setting debug=<some value> for example debug=1 in your /etc/privoxy/config.

  2. Based on Debugging docs section you should set debug in the /etc/privoxy/config, i.e. add

    debug 1 
debug 2 
debug 4

    You can find the meaning of these numbers in the linked docs.
