Note to Upgraders</A ></H1 ><P > There are very significant changes from earlier <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >Junkbuster</SPAN > versions to the current <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >Privoxy</SPAN >. The number, names, syntax, and purposes of configuration files have substantially changed. <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >Junkbuster 2.0.x</SPAN > configuration files will not migrate, <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >Junkbuster 2.9.x</SPAN > and <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >Privoxy</SPAN > configurations will need to be ported. The functionalities of the old <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >blockfile</TT >, <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >cookiefile</TT > and <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >imagelist</TT > are now combined into the <A HREF="actions-file.html" ><SPAN CLASS="QUOTE" >"actions files"</SPAN ></A >. <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >default.action</TT >, is the main actions file. Local exceptions should best be put into <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >user.action</TT >.</P ><P > A <A HREF="filter-file.html" ><SPAN CLASS="QUOTE" >"filter file"</SPAN ></A > (typically <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >default.filter</TT >) is new as of <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >Privoxy 2.9.x</SPAN >, and provides some of the new sophistication (explained below). <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >config</TT > is much the same as before.</P ><P > If upgrading from a 2.0.x version, you will have to use the new config files, and possibly adapt any personal rules from your older files. When porting personal rules over from the old <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >blockfile</TT > to the new actions files, please note that even the pattern syntax has changed. If upgrading from 2.9.x development versions, it is still recommended to use the new configuration files.</P ><P > A quick list of things to be aware of before upgrading: </P ><P > <P ></P ><UL ><LI ><P > The default listening port is now 8118 due to a conflict with another service (NAS). </P ></LI ><LI ><P > Some installers may remove earlier versions completely. Save any important configuration files! </P ></LI ><LI ><P > <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >Privoxy</SPAN > is controllable with a web browser at the special URL: <A HREF="http://config.privoxy.org/" TARGET="_top" >http://config.privoxy.org/</A > (Shortcut: <A HREF="http://p.p/" TARGET="_top" >http://p.p/</A >). Many aspects of configuration can be done here, including temporarily disabling <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >Privoxy</SPAN >. </P ></LI ><LI ><P > The primary configuration files for cookie management, ad and banner blocking, and many other aspects of <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >Privoxy</SPAN > configuration are the <A HREF="actions-file.html" >actions files</A >. It is strongly recommended to become familiar with the new actions concept below, before modifying these files. Locally defined rules should go into <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >user.action</TT >. </P ></LI ><LI ><P > Some installers may not automatically start <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >Privoxy</SPAN > after installation. </P ></LI ></UL ></P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="NAVFOOTER" ><HR ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="100%"><TABLE SUMMARY="Footer navigation table" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="installation.html" ACCESSKEY="P" >Prev</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="index.html" ACCESSKEY="H" >Home</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="quickstart.html" ACCESSKEY="N" >Next</A ></TD ></TR ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" >Installation</TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" > </TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" >Quickstart to Using <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >Privoxy</SPAN ></TD ></TR ></TABLE ></DIV ></BODY ></HTML >
