This is driving me nuts. I have repeatedly tried to upgrade to the latest tor with no success. If I build and install it without doing any configuration, it will run with the builtin defaults (including the default server name) but if I try to create a torrc file, no matter what I do with it (using torrc.sample as a template) tor fails to run. No error messages at all.
What the hell is it with the latest tor and its config file? Did something drastic change? Why is the torrc.sample unusable as a simple template? I've tried simply uncommenting a few of the basic settings (ORPort, etc) and changing the server name but this alone is enough to prevent tor from running. For now it looks like I'm back to tor-0.2.1.6-alpha AGAIN. praedor
