I am trying to run Tor on an internal network and I seem to be
having a
problem with the Directory Server. The Directory Server starts up
but I
am seeing the following message in notices.log:
Sep 02 20:44:28.840 [notice] While fetching directory info, no
running
dirservers known. Will try again later. (purpose 14)
Any idea what that means?
A fine question. Your config looks sane, but I'm running into the same
problem. I'm sure we could figure that out, but you should rather
consider running the v3 directory protocol instead of v2. At least I
can
tell that it's working with a v3 directory authority.
You'll find more information about running a private network with a v3
directory authority here:
https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/tor/trunk/doc/v3-authority-howto.txt
https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/tor/trunk/doc/spec/proposals/135-private-tor-networks.txt
And at some point there will also be an update to the FAQ entry...
As an example, this is a torrc for a private Tor network with three v3
directory authorities (you can leave out some of the options):
DataDirectory .

Also, should I set the Directory Server's
"DirServer" to point to itself or do I need to run mulitple Dir
Servers
and point them to each other?
It should be sufficient to run a single directory server pointing to
itself (all the other nodes in the network need to point to it, too).
Hope that helps,
