Re: [tor-relays] Re-Install Tor on raspberry, keep torrc and fingerprint

Hey Volker,

Indeed, likeÂPierre said, backup all keys not only private key, backup torrc as well. Then you can reinstall your Pi. And about ControlPort, read:

Cheers!

Hey Volker,

Never tried this, but there's something in the FAQ about this...
https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#UpgradeOrMove

I remember some people saying you need to save every keys (and not only 1 as said in the FAQ),
if I'm not wrong, in Raspbian you can find them in /var/lib/tor/keys

And in the torrc, check this
DataDirectory /var/lib/tor

I'm not sure, and I'm sadly noob with Tor, but this easy solution can be tried quickly I think...
+ when I check on my Raspbian (Jessie), debian-tor is the user/group by default on the directory /var/lib/tor

I always launch arm with this command :
sudo -u debian-tor arm

Your /etc/tor/torrc config file has been overwritten by the upgrade ? Have you check it ?

Good luck!

Hello there.

I recently updated my Raspberry to the Jessie-Release. During this procedure TOR updated to 0.2.7.x (?).
Now I have the problem that TOR is running as a new process and I cannot access it via ARM.

Everytime I start ARM, any user, it show the âMenuâ where I can choose as what the TOR should work. I say âlast configâ.

In the status screen it says:

22:32:37 [ARM_WARN] Connection refused. Is the ControlPort enabled?

Â

arm - raspberrypi (Linux 4.1.13+)

Tor Disconnected (press r to reconnect)

Â

On page 4:

Â

page 4 / 5 - m: menu, p: pause, h: page help, q: quit

Tor Configuration File:

1 ### Unable to load the torrc ###

Â

====

What to do? For me it looks the best to remove TOR completely and reinstall it clean. But how to keep my Fingerprint and the Stats?
Or anyone has a idea how to fix this. Im not so deep into linux to fix this error.

Anyone can help me?

Best regards,
