Why is there no logfile for my privoxy?












4















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?

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

            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 if these numbers in the linked docs.
