Re: Tor not working
Yes, that's the directory I'm referring to, and Privoxy is in there. However, I believe I've discovered the problem, and it's something that was overlooked by the developers: there's no torstartup.pkg included in the installer for the latest version of Tor and Vidalia bundle. But, if you go to the download page for "experts" and download that package for OS X (Tor-0.1.1.24-tiger-ppc-Bundle.mpkg), it is included, whereas Vidalia is not.

Re: Tor not working
I've restarted Tor several times, even restarted my system, and I still get the 503 error, even though Terminal and Vidalia both say Tor is running. I'm on OS X PPC and Vidalia is a fat binary, but I stripped the Intel code from it, as I had before this all started happening. The output of "ps auxwww | grep Tor" is this: 424 2.7 0.127376424 p1 S+7:43PM 0:00.01 grep Tor I just tried launching Vidalia and going to the Tor menu to turn it "On" and tried Firefox again, and it worked. But this makes no sense, since I've never had have Vidalia running to use Tor when I was running 10.3.9. Any idea what's up with that, and do I really have to launch Vidalia every time I want to use Tor?

The easiest way to get this error message is not to start Tor, or have it listening on another address than Privoxy is expecting. Make sure that Tor is running and that its local address is the one Privoxy is configured to use: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $lynx -dump http://config.privoxy.org/show-status | grep socks4 [46]forward-socks4a / 10.0.0.2:9050 .

If your firewall blocks outgoing connections, punch a hole so it can connect to at least TCP ports 80 and 443, and then see this FAQ entry. » and 2- May be some file permission to be checked with chmod http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ItDoesntWork « When you are running Tor on Mac OS X and Vidalia isn´t responding (circling umbrella) or when you see a message in your syslog like: Jun 31 12:34:56 Abcd crashdump[354] : tor crashed Jun 31 12:34:56 Abcd crashdump[354] : crash report written to: /Users/mring/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/tor.crash.log And in your crash report you find a lines like Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x It is much likely that your torrc was set up with wrong permissions. chmod o+rw torrc should fix your problem. Its very lovely from Mac OS X to kill the Tor process with a EXC_BAD_ACCESS instead of invalid permissions. This problem should be fixed in the next few releases. When it's working, Tor should report that it 'has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like it's working.' » 3- Also you say : "It worked fine yesterday, but today it will not connect to any site" You may find some hints from the Tor error and warning messages (in Vidalia) or from your firewall log and so on... Did Mac OS have a feature equivalent to the System Restore in W xp ? This can be the most simple things to do. Let us know. :) -- Claude LaFrenière

Hello, Yes, I have those settings (I'm using the Tor button extension for Firefox) and it worked fine yesterday, but today it will not connect to any site. I do have the latest stable version with Vidalia installed, so that shouldn't be an issue. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Tor not working
I've been trying to connect to various web sites through Tor on Firefox 1.5.0.6 on Mac OS X, but it no longer works for any site. I get the error page saying that Tor is enabled on port 8118 but it could not load the page because a connection to 127.0.0.1 couldn't be established. Does anyone have an explanation and a solution for this problem?
