Sorry Matthieu, I remembered the folders wrong. If you use a new vidalia version, you only should edit the vidalia folder: /documents and settings/administrator/application data/vidalia/torrc just like you wrote.
But you don't need the torrc in the tor folder: /documents and settings/administrator/application data/tor/torrc If you did that correctly, it's strange that things don't work. Maybe vidalia overwrites the torrc with the saved settings in: /documents and settings/administrator/application data/vidalia/vidalia.conf /Viking Matthieu Dalissier skrev: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: >> Matthieu, >> >> I also have similar incompatibility between tor 0202alpha and vidalia >> 0012. >> Vidalia is not updated to work with tor 0202alpha. >> >> Did you notice that vidalia creates a new torrc file in it's own folder? >> Did you edit the settings in that file, or in the old torrc place under >> documents and settings?
