Hello, I was having some problems so reinstalled Tor. Now I am having new issues. I am using Tor 0.2.2.35, Torbutton 1.4.4.1, and Vidalia 0.2.15 under Ubuntu 10.04.
I want to use a specific torrc file. When I boot-up, Tor runs. I kill it then run tor -f torrc. I can then use Firefox with my specific settings. However, when I try to run Vidalia, I get the errors: Dec 21 18:37:40.314 [Warning] /var/run/tor is not owned by this user (myname, 1000) but by debian-tor (115). Perhaps you are running Tor as the wrong user? Dec 21 18:37:40.314 [Warning] Before Tor can create a control socket in "/var/run/tor/control", the directory "/var/run/tor" needs to exist, and to be accessible only by the user account that is running Tor. If I change the owner from debian-tor to myname then I get the error: Dec 21 18:41:41.911 [Warning] Permissions on directory /var/run/tor are too permissive. Dec 21 18:41:41.911 [Warning] Before Tor can create a control socket in "/var/run/tor/control", the directory "/var/run/tor" needs to exist, and to be accessible only by the user account that is running Tor. There is obviously some problem with loading Tor then loading Vidalia rather than having Vidalia load Tor. I cannot change the torrc in Vidalia because it refuses to save and just points to /etc/tor/torrc (which doesn't actually exist). The ideal situation would be for me to load Vidalia which loads Tor which loads the torrc I want. Thanks. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
