[tor-relays] Newbie Messed up Relay Setup

[flgcrz <flgcrz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Is this the right place to post if I'm having difficulties? I've done
quite a bit of searching forums and things. I'm new to this and have
been struggling a bit to get Tor and Vidalia working smoothly.
I think I know what the problem is .
I had my relay setup and working fine but Tor was not working. So I
looked around a bit and I found this post on the Ubuntu forums and a
useful guide to setting up Tor Vidalia and Polipo.
I followed the instructions in that guide and finally Tor is working
both when Vidalia boots and in my browser albeit with Torbutton as
opposed to Foxyproxy (recommended in the guide).
I thought this is great progress finally.
But no I messed something up.
In my enthusiasm I had copied the torrc from the guide without backing
up my original and now my relay is no longer working.
There are I believe 2 issues.
The first I think is that the original references to my keys have been deleted.
The second is I think something to do with the setup I have for ControlPort.

I don't think its a firewall issue. I am running a firewall locally
and have port forwarding setup on my wireless router for 9001 and 9030

Like I said I'm new to all this so I could be wrong.
I also don't know a lot about encryption so I am hesitant to post the
details of my logs on a public list.

I've messed things up so if this is too much of a pain is there a way
to just wipe out old keys and start a new relay from scratch?

Thanks you in advance

Best

Kevin
