Hello,

I have a question about which version of dnsmasq is used in the very usefull video posted yesterday, on how to install siriproxy on ubuntu 11.10

I have installed virtualbox and run a fresh install of ubuntu 11.10 and was able to install everything
siriproxy is running and the certificat is sent to my iPhone.

I have a question about dnsmasq. In your video i can see that you run the following command to restart dnsmasq:

sudo /etc/init.d/sudo dnsmasq restart

With my fresh install, "restart" is not recognised and "restart" is nowhere in the man page of dnsmasq.

When i run "sudo dnsmasq" there is no error message and looks like dnsmasq is running because if i try to run a new instance i have a message saying that the port is already used. I can also kill the process with "sudo killall dnsmasq".

Even if dnsmasq "looks" running i would like to understand why it's different on my computer. Initially version 2.57 was installed and i have upgraded the tool to 2.59 which is the last debian package available. I do not understand how dnsmasq can be different because we proceed exactly the same way. The only difference i can see is that i have choosen "French" to setup Ubuntu but for me this is not the root cause.

I am saying that because even if /etc/dnsmasq.conf is properly configured and even if i have put the ip address as a DNS in my iphone, siriproxy do not capture anything and when i try to go to internet on my iphone, it's not possible anymore as soon as i have set then dns. I am wondering if dnsmasq works diffently depending on the version (of course i can ping from an other computer the ip adress of the virtualbox).

thanks for your help.
