+Are you sure Tor and Polipo are both running? If you're using Vidalia, |
|
| 714 |
+you may have to click on the onion and select "Start" to launch Tor. |

+Did you configure your web browser to http proxy to port 8118? Most people |
|
| 719 |
+should do this simply by installing Torbutton and making sure it says |
|
| 720 |
+"Tor enabled" at the bottom. |

|
| 724 |
+If you are using Firefox and would like to use Tor via the Torbutton |
|
| 725 |
+extension, make sure you don't have any other proxy add-on such as |
|
| 726 |
+Foxy Proxy enabled, as it will bypass Torbutton's proxy settings |
|
| 727 |
+for your browser. Note that using Foxy Proxy is NOT a sufficient |
|
| 728 |
+substitute for Torbutton. There are many known attacks against |
|
| 729 |
+a browser setup that does not include Torbutton. Read more in the |
|

+Check your system clock. If it's more than a few hours off, Tor will |
|
| 742 |
+refuse to build circuits. For XP users, synchronize your clock under |
|
| 743 |
+the clock -> Internet time tab. In addition, correct the day and date |
|
| 744 |
+under the 'Date & Time' Tab. |

+If you installed Polipo yourself (not from a bundle), did you edit the |
|
| 758 |
+config file as described? Did you restart Polipo after this change? |

+For Red Hat Linux and related systems, do you have SELinux enabled? If |
|
| 763 |
+so, it might be preventing Polipo from talking to Tor. We also run across |
|
| 764 |
+BSD users periodically who have local firewall rules that prevent some |
|
| 765 |
+connections to localhost. |

+When it's working, Tor should report that it "has successfully opened |
|
| 770 |
+a circuit. Looks like client functionality is working." |
