Yesterday I downloaded and installed newest alpha version of Tor and installed it as a service under windows XP Pro using command Tor.exe -install (it was a new install after frersh windows instalation so no config files or Tor directories were present)
the service was created but .. Tor directory was created ok under C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Dane aplikacji\ (im using Polish localized version of windows) the contents of Tor directory were as follows . cached-status (subdirectory) state there was no torrc file created so i made one myself when i did this and tried to restart Tor service it failed with an error Contents of system log Typ zdarzenia: Błąd Źródło zdarzenia: Service Control Manager Kategoria zdarzenia: Brak Identyfikator zdarzenia: 7023 Data: 2007-06-10 Godzina: 13:12:46 Użytkownik: Brak Komputer: xxx Opis: Usługa Tor Win32 Service zakończyła działanie; wystąpił następujący błąd: W usłudze wystąpił wyjątek podczas obsługi żądania kontroli. Aby znaleźć więcej informacji, zobacz http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp w Centrum pomocy i obsługi technicznej. ----------------- I then started to change things in torrc and figured out that enabling any options related to Tor server functions triggers this error (everything works just fine if Tor runs as client only) Any attempt to set any of the options related to server functionalities ie Orport or nickname results in an error Then I tried to run Tor as nonservice from my local nonadmin account and Tor started as server normally So for now im using Tor from separate unprivileged user account Any suggestions how to solve this situation would be welcome
