Re: [tor-relays] bridge installation help please

[Colin Childs <colin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rob,

The default log location on Debian changed some time ago to be your syslog instead of a file in /var/log/tor. 

If you would like to have tor log to a specific file, please add the following to your torrc and restart tor:

Log notice file /var/log/tor/log

I will get this page updated right away to reflect these changes, sorry for the confusion and thank you for running bridges.

I followed https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/PluggableTransports/obfs4proxy

on a vps with Debian 9
the torrc reads

RunAsDaemon 1
ORPort 9001
BridgeRelay 1
ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
ExtORPort auto
DataDirectory /var/lib/tor
ContactInfo <p at gmail dot com>
Nickname <name>

from root this  

tail -F /var/log/tor/log

brought this

tail: cannot open '/var/log/tor/log' for reading: No such file or directory
