Install TinyProxy on Centos

Posted by Ridley Scott at 07.16 Read our previous post

Well, Most commont users get this message "No package tinyproxy available" When trying install tinyproxy use command "yum install tinyproxy"

Like when I try before on Centos VPS:

[root@vps ~]# yum install tinyproxy
Loaded plugins: downloadonly, fastestmirror

Setting up Install Process
No package tinyproxy available.
Nothing to do

Its because repository not listed on our Centos repository.

Then we must do it:

wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testin
g/i386/RPMS/tinyproxy-1.8.2-1.el5.kb.3.i386.rpm

Will get result like this:

[root@vps ~]# wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testin
g/i386/RPMS/tinyproxy-1.8.2-1.el5.kb.3.i386.rpm

           => `tinyproxy-1.8.2-1.el5.kb.3.i386.rpm'

Then install the downloaded package using this command:

rpm -ivh tinyproxy-1.8.2-1.el5.kb.3.i386.rpm

[root@vps ~]# rpm -ivh tinyproxy-1.8.2-1.el5.kb.3.i386.rpm

Now we already get tinyproxy installed on our Centos OS.

Start service tinyproxy like this:

[root@vps ~]# tinyproxy
[root@vps ~]# ps ax
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
    1 ?        Ss     0:00 init [3]
 1132 ?        S
then I check using PS AX and its successfull running.
