Question

I use polipo on my terminal proxy http request. When I config done, I reload it. It happened an error.

error information on terminal:

I tried change owner and group of the file, but it does not reload.

sudo chgrp staff homebrew.mxcl.polipo.plist
sudo chown baidu homebrew.mxcl.polipo.plist

/usr/local/Cellar/polipo/1.1.1/homebrew.mxcl.polipo.plist: Path had bad ownership/permissions

Answer 1

It seems that you have installed polipo or homebrew with root permissions.

Try to set permissions of /usr/local/Cellar/polipo/1.1.1/ according to your username (my username is hamidrohani):

$ ls -lah /usr/local/Cellar/polipo/1.1.1/
total 88
drwxr-xr-x  9 hamidrohani  admin   306B Aug  2 02:38 .

or try to reinstall homebrew and then polipo in your current user without any sudo prefixes.

Launch agents will be installed in ~/Library/LaunchAgents. So you can start polipo with Homebrew Services:

brew services start polipo

Homebrew Services will be installed automatically within installation of homebrew; Otherwise install it:

brew tap homebrew/services

After a successful installation, look at here for configurations.
