Re: Some of my observations on runing new alpha version of Tor
Thanks scar it was really that - in nickname that prevented Tor from starting as service but it started just fine when run from commandline what confused me Now everything seems to work ok (runing alpha as popotest as service) now i will test those new features like dns resolving and passthru bandwidth limiting :) 2007/6/13, scar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: just to be clear, that "path to executable" should be: "C:\Program Files\Tor\tor.exe" --nt-service sorry if the extra quotes were confusing

ok, you want the torrc to reside in "C:\Documents and
Settings\LocalService\Dane aplikacji\tor\". you also want the "log on" option
to use the LocalService account. so i would:
1.) close vidalia & stop tor, make sure no tor.exe is running
2.) remove the tor service with command "tor --service remove"
3.) reinstall the tor service with command "tor --service install"
now you should check in the service properties that the command line is correct
("path to executable"):
""C:\Program Files\Tor\tor.exe" --nt-service"
if it doesn't look just like this, then maybe there is a bug with "tor
-install". you can manually edit the "path to executable" by using regedit and
navigating to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tor and then
editing the "ImagePath" string so it doesn't have improper quotes, etc.
you also want to put all the options in torrc, including that rogue
"ControlPort 9051" that was being put in the command line.
now, you will have a cleanly configured tor service with the torrc,
cached-routers, cached-status, etc. in the "C:\Documents and
Settings\LocalService\Dane aplikacji\tor\" directory.

so it sounds like there is a problem with the Nickname option? according to
the manpage this option can only use characters [a-zA-Z0-9], so that hyphen is
invalid. i get the same error 7023 when trying that nickname, but everything
works OK if i use "popotest"

Your problem description is pretty vague, but if by "package" you mean the Tor Vidalia bundle that also contains Privoxy, this might be related to: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1635354&group_id=8&atid=28 Fabian signature.asc Description: PGP signature
