I usually run Tor in a Win7 user account and have been running a 0.2.2.33
relay without any problems. Now the updated 0.2.2.34 Tor crashes after
running for about a minute.
To upgrade I shut down the running 0.2.2.33 relay and switched to the
system's admin account. I uninstalled the existing Vidalia Bundle and
installed vidalia-relay-bundle-0.2.2.34-0.2.15.exe.
I switched back to the user account and ran Vidalia, using the existing
Tor and Vidalia config files. First problem: Vidalia can't find the Tor
executable because the installation location has changed. I pointed
Vidalia to the correct location.
I started Tor via the Vidalia Control Panel and all appeared to be well.
Watching the message log I saw the the self-test worked correctly, my
bandwidth had been measured, and that my descriptor had been published.
Easy-peasy.
After running for about 60-90 seconds a pop-up window appears on my
desktop saying that Vidalia is reporting that Tor had exited unexpectedly.
I looked at the message log and see no problems whatsoever in the Advanced
log screen. The last entry is a notification of start-up success.
I try starting Tor again and again all appears to be well. And again I am
informed after 60-90 seconds that Tor has "exited unexpectedly".
Maybe it can't find my pre-existing torrc config file? No, The relay name
is correctly shown in the message log. Maybe it can't find my data files?
No, I see that the time stamp on the "state" file is updated when I start
Tor. (Although the timestamp on the cached descriptor files seems not to
change.)
So now I am unable to run the relay that has worked so well for months.
