Create this directory subtree and an empty log file. Then check
if it will actually be used for logging - if that is what the
torrc file indicates. Otherwise, set a different logging file,
but make sure it does actually exist.
Further review seems to indicate use of the built-in syslog system:
[root@kabini1, /etc, 11:17:03pm] 477 % grep log
/usr/local/etc/tor/torrc

#Log notice file /usr/local/var/log/tor/notices.log
## Send every possible message to /usr/local/var/log/tor/debug.log
#Log debug file /usr/local/var/log/tor/debug.log
## Use the system log instead of Tor's logfiles
#Log notice syslog

In the past (before last upgrade) tor logged to a file in
/var/log, see above. Afterward, ???? There was a directory named
/var/log/tor, owned _tor:_tor, but it was empty & I removed it
after a week or so & re-created it & restarted tor. It restarts OK
& seems to be working OK, just no logging. Has the amount of
logging changed from a couple of months ago ?
