[Privoxy-users] Trouble Updating Privoxy

[Ian Silvester]

Hi Daniel, 

The first question has to be, what changed between it working and then
not working with the prior version installed? Did you upgrade OS X?
There is a known issue with upgrading between certain OS X versions, in
that it partially (but not completely - therein lies the bug!) deletes
the user account that privoxy runs as. Is this possibly the case? 

Let me know, furthwr fault diagnosis will follow your answer.
