I am running tor on a new Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS system. I have restarted tor a couple of times with

Â service tor restart

I noticed when I start arm that it is telling me that

Â The torrc differs from what tor's using. You can issue sighup to reload ...

It seems that tor is running with default values and is not reading /etc/tor/torrc as there is no

Â ... -f /etc/tor/torrc

option being used by the running tor when it is displayed with 'ps'.

The 'ps' output for the tor instance is

ÂÂ /usr/bin/tor --defaults-torrc /usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc --hush

I had asumed that because I have set DirPort to 80 and ORPort to 443 in /etc/tor/torrc and can see in the tor log files that those two ports are reachable from outside, that the running tor was reading /etc/tot/torrc.

Something is amiss with my tor configuration but I don't know what.

Any hints as to where to look would be welcome while I try to RTFM again!

Cheers
