[Xitami] Posible Conflit with Tor's Proxy

Dear Friends,

    I have a grayhat situation:

    I have a Cobut Server that a hacker has found a way to use to send out his spam though. I have finger out most of what I need to do to stop him. But I believe that it will only make him more persistent to find another way to use my server. So I need to take this opportunity to learn how to make my server more secure. One of the thing that I have learned is that most hackers use  a system to "Tor" to Protect there identity. So I need to install a copy of Tor on my Local computer (which also had Xitami) so I can learn how it works, what the effects on my Cobut Server are so I can learn how to identity its use, and if there is a way I can defeat it.

    HEAR IS MY PROBLEM.

    I was just about to install Tor on my Computer When I noticed that there Privoxy 3.0.3 (witch is part of the Tor packeg) Happen to work like a server and used Localhost, and the ip 127.0.0.1, the same address my Xitami uses, (See instructions for yourself http://tor.eff.org/docs/tor-doc-web.html.en) . Now my question. Will there be a conflict between Xitami and the Provoxy, and if so dos anyone know how to move the Provoxy out of the way, Since Xitami if Primary on my machine and I have written dozens of script referring to Xitami as the Localhost.


Sincerely,

Stefan
