Some files of them were belonged to root.
I have changed them for belonging to privoxy but it did not resolve my
problem:
ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 privoxy root 50341 2010-09-18 13:00 config
-rw-r--r-- 1 privoxy root 66849 2009-07-06 22:50 default.action
-rw-r--r-- 1 privoxy root 37588 2009-07-06 22:50 default.filter
-rw-r--r-- 1 privoxy root   734 2009-07-06 22:50 match-all.action
drwxr-xr-x 2 privoxy root  4096 2010-09-19 08:35 templates
-rw-r--r-- 1 privoxy root  3697 2009-07-06 22:50 trust
-rw-r--r-- 1 privoxy root  6372 2009-07-06 22:50 user.action

But I have the next under my Debian Lenny laptop:
 ls -l /etc/privoxy-rw-r--r-- 1 root    root 42475 Апр 19  2009 config
-rw-r--r-- 1 root    root 59542 Июл  8  2008 default.action
-rw-r--r-- 1 root    root 53666 Июл  8  2008 default.filter
-rw-r--r-- 1 privoxy root   506 Июл  8  2008 global.action
-rw-r--r-- 1 root    root  2626 Июл  8  2008 standard.action
drwxr-xr-x 2 root    root  3072 Апр 19  2009 templates
-rw-r--r-- 1 privoxy root  3697 Июл  8  2008 trust
-rw-r--r-- 1 privoxy root  6372 Июл  8  2008 user.action
and have no such problem.

And what are the templates?
ls -l templates

(They were belong to root earlier)

Could them be the source of that problem?

/etc/privoxy/config attached
