Re: Tried one last time, giving up on 0.2.1.7-alpha



I thought you could run tor without a torrc file and it will default to client mode with default settings.
Also, I did a build with 0.2.1.7-alpha about two weeks ago with no problems.  
Are you building from source?  Are you using a pre-packaged version?  Where did you get it from?

I went ahead and tried to use tor-0.2.1.7 again and again it has failed

why it refuses to run.

If I totally delete my ~/.tor directory and start tor from the CLI, it will
start and run for a little while (say less than a minute) and then just quit.
If I then try to start it again, it is an IMMEDIATE fail without any messages
to explain why.

Using Tork, I use the First Run Wizard to try to get tor and tork setup and
then hit the "start tor" button.  It starts out as if it is going to work,
usually doing the "bootstrapping" thing until about 90%, then POOF, no more
tor and any attempt to start it again immediately fails.

Can someone please supply me with a torrc file that actually works with
0.2.1.7-alpha (with your own personal settings altered) so I can try that?
The torrc.sample that comes with the 0.2.1.7 install doesn't work when I try
to manually edit it instead of using Tork.
