How to fix 500 internal privoxy error

By -
I keep getting a 500 Internal Privoxy Error when I open a particular URL. I tried several websites that promise a fix but only want to sell me some bullshit software for $29.95 that doesn't do anything. The actual message is as follows

500 Internal Privoxy Error

Privoxy encountered an error while processing your request:

Could not load template file connect-failed or one of its included components.

Please contact your proxy administrator.

If you are the proxy administrator, please put the required file(s)in the (confdir)/templates directory. The location of the (confdir) directory is specified in the main Privoxy config file. (It's typically the Privoxy install directory).

After spending so much of time and putting lots of effort at internet, finally I fixed it. The solutions is -- Disable proxy settings and check.
  1. Press “Windows Logo” + “R” keys on the keyboard, type “inetcpl.cpl” and press “Enter”.
  2. Click the “Connections” tab, and then click “LAN settings”.
  3. Uncheck the “Use a proxy server for your LAN” check box.
  4. Click “Ok”.
Please let us know if the issue till persists.
Thanks.

Drupal Bootstrap Database

This is the 3rd article in the series covering DRUPAL v6 bootstrap process. As the bootstrap name implies, this phase covers initializing a connection to a database. The phase begins by including 'database.inc' , which is a database abstraction layer allowing developers to use different database servers with the same code base. One of the functions defined by this library is the db_set_active() function, which is invoked by the bootstrap database phase. This function is used to activate a database used by queries in later phases or during page building and rendering. The function begins by checking if the global variable $db_url is empty. Recall that in the phase #1 - DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_CONFIGURATION, this variable is set to the value specified in settings.php unless it is still set to the default string of ' mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename' . In that case, $db_url is simply set to empty string ''. This would indicate a first time insta...
