If you comment out

\
1>/dev/null 2>&1

in the start script, Privoxy should give you a reason why it
doesn't start.

And no, Privoxy also needs at least read access to the filter
and action files. Read access to the templates will be appreciated
as well, but shouldn't cause start problems.

You probably want Privoxy to be able to write to the action files,
otherwise you can't modify them with the web interface.

I believe you can change the configfile only in the start
script itself.
