Another little glitch, I have installed and configured tinyproxy as per http://markus.revti.com/2009/10/installing-tinyproxy-as-squid-proxy-server-alternative/ and http://controlpanelblog.com/general/how-to-install-and-configure-tinyproxy.html . /etc/init.d/tinyproxy start emits no errors, the tinyproxy log shows no errors ( http://pastebin.com/fw39bdcX ) -- however, htop does not show any tinyproxy processes, or any processes started by that username (which I confirmed was created). More tellingly, trying to stop or restart the service yields:
Code:
[censored] ~ # /etc/init.d/tinyproxy restart
 * Stopping tinyproxy ...
 * start-stop-daemon: no matching processes found                         [ ok ]
 * Starting tinyproxy ...                                                 [ ok ]


I have also tried changing the username it runs under to root, thinking it may be a permission error, to no avail (username has been reset to tinyproxy). One thing slightly different from the tutorial is that the conf file is /etc/tinyproxy.conf instead of /etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf -- but since the log confirms that it's pulling settings from the conf file, that shouldn't be an issue.

Obviously, trying to connect through the proxy gives an error (from firefox):
Code:
The proxy server is refusing connections
          Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
  Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
  Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.


Any ideas?

Does the process fail to start or does it start and immediately exit? What does strace report?

it starts and then fails, after a fair number of errors -- mostly related to files not being found: http://pastebin.com/hWLqbbB8

At my site it started to start again after:

mkdir /run/tinyproxy && chown tinyproxy:tinyproxy /run/tinyproxy

Ah, thanks for the one-/twoliner. Added that one to the init script and now tinyproxy at least starts as a daemon.
