 Hello,

 I'm not sure it's a bug but maybe a notification can be written in default
 torrc file or on somewhere. When i want to
 make my DataDirectory parameter in torrc file as: "DataDirectory
 /home/ilter/myTorNetwork#2/work/authorities/auth1"
 it gives an error as below;

 [warn] Couldn't open file for 'Log notice file /home/ilter/myTorNetwork':
 Is a directory

 There is an explanation for "#" and "##" symbols on torrc. Maybe it can be
 update as below;

 ## Lines that begin with "## " try to explain what's going on. Lines
 ## that begin with just "#" are disabled commands: you can enable them
 ## by removing the "#" symbol.
 + ## Please notice that don't use these symbols on any parameters.

 Thanks.

Comment:

 A documentation update is all that is needed for this.  Otherwise, it's a
 lot of work for little gain.
