            Bug ID: 206233
           Summary: www/tinyproxy: Provided config file doesn't set
                    "PidFile" parameter
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---

- Overview:

A new installation of tinyproxy will not start with the default configurati=
on
file because the PidFile directive is commented out and the program default=
s to
a non-existent location.

- Steps to reproduce:

Install www/tinyproxy package.  Attempt to start the service.

- Actual results:

tinyproxy exits immediately.

- Expected results:

tinyproxy should start and continue running as a daemon with sensible defau=
lt
settings.

- Additional information:

Output of tinyproxy when run in debug mode from command line with the defau=
lt
configuration file provided by the package:

  # tinyproxy -d
  tinyproxy: Could not create file /var/run/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.pid: No such
file or directory
  tinyproxy: Could not create PID file.

Obviously, this is trivial to fix by uncommenting the PidFile directive in =
the
provided configuration file, but it violates the principle of least
astonishment.
