+ <p>
+ To build an executable with security enhanced features so that
+ users cannot easily bypass the proxy (e.g. <span class="QUOTE">"Go

+ "COMMAND">configure</b> like this:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ </p>
+ <table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
+ <tr>
+ <td>
+<pre class="SCREEN">

+
+ <p>
+ Note that all of these options can also be disabled through the

+ <p>
+ <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">WARNING:</i></span> If
+ installing as root, the install will fail unless a non-root user or
+ group is specified, or a <tt class="LITERAL">privoxy</tt> user and
+ group already exist on the system. If a non-root user is specified,
+ and no group, then the installation will try to also use a group of
+ the same name as <span class="QUOTE">"user"</span>. If a group is
+ specified (and no user), then the support files will be installed
+ as writable by that group, and owned by the user running the
+ installation.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <b class="COMMAND">configure</b> accepts <tt class=
+ "LITERAL">--with-user</tt> and <tt class=
+ "LITERAL">--with-group</tt> options for setting user and group
+ ownership of the configuration files (which need to be writable by
+ the daemon). The specified <span class="emphasis"><i class=
+ "EMPHASIS">user must already exist</i></span>. When starting <span
+ class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>, it must be run as this same
+ user to insure write access to configuration and log files!
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Alternately, you can specify <tt class="LITERAL">user</tt> and <tt
+ class="LITERAL">group</tt> on the <b class="COMMAND">make</b>
+ command line, but be sure both already exist:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ </p>
+ <table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
+ <tr>
+ <td>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+ make -s install USER=privoxy GROUP=privoxy
+</pre>
+ </td>
+ </tr>
+ </table>
+
+ <p>
+ The default installation path for <b class="COMMAND">make
+ install</b> is <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/local</tt>. This may of
+ course be customized with the various <b class=
+ "COMMAND">./configure</b> path options. If you are doing an install
+ to anywhere besides <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/local</tt>, be sure
+ to set the appropriate paths with the correct configure options (<b
+ class="COMMAND">./configure --help</b>). Non-privileged users must
+ of course have write access permissions to wherever the target
+ installation is going.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If you do install to <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/local</tt>, the
+ install will use <tt class=
+ "LITERAL">sysconfdir=$prefix/etc/privoxy</tt> by default. All other
+ destinations, and the direct usage of <tt class=
+ "LITERAL">--sysconfdir</tt> flag behave like normal, i.e. will not
+ add the extra <tt class="FILENAME">privoxy</tt> directory. This is
+ for a safer install, as there may already exist another program
+ that uses a file with the <span class="QUOTE">"config"</span> name,
+ and thus makes <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/local/etc</tt> cleaner.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If installing to <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/local</tt>, the
+ documentation will go by default to <tt class=
+ "FILENAME">$prefix/share/doc</tt>. But if this directory doesn't
+ exist, it will then try <tt class="FILENAME">$prefix/doc</tt> and
+ install there before creating a new <tt class=
+ "FILENAME">$prefix/share/doc</tt> just for <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Again, if the installs goes to <tt class=
+ "FILENAME">/usr/local</tt>, the <tt class=
+ "LITERAL">localstatedir</tt> (ie: <tt class="FILENAME">var/</tt>)
+ will default to <tt class="FILENAME">/var</tt> instead of <tt
+ class="LITERAL">$prefix/var</tt> so the logs will go to <tt class=
+ "FILENAME">/var/log/privoxy/</tt>, and the pid file will be created
+ in <tt class="FILENAME">/var/run/privoxy.pid</tt>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <b class="COMMAND">make install</b> will attempt to set the correct
+ values in <tt class="FILENAME">config</tt> (main configuration
+ file). You should check this to make sure all values are correct.
+ If appropriate, an init script will be installed, but it is up to
+ the user to determine how and where to start <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>. The init script should be checked for
+ correct paths and values, if anything other than a default install
+ is done.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If install finds previous versions of local configuration files,
+ most of these will not be overwritten, and the new ones will be
+ installed with a <span class="QUOTE">"new"</span> extension.
+ default.action and default.filter <span class="emphasis"><i class=
+ "EMPHASIS">will be overwritten</i></span>. You will then need to
+ manually update the other installed configuration files as needed.
+ The default template files <span class="emphasis"><i class=
+ "EMPHASIS">will</i></span> be overwritten. If you have customized,
+ local templates, these should be stored safely in a separate
+ directory and defined in <tt class="FILENAME">config</tt> by the
+ <span class="QUOTE">"templdir"</span> directive. It is of course
+ wise to always back-up any important configuration files <span
+ class="QUOTE">"just in case"</span>. If a previous version of <span
+ class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> is already running, you will
+ have to restart it manually.
