On Ubuntu, service starts /usr/bin/tor using the script in /etc/init.d/tor

Try editing the line that reads:
ARGS=“”
To read:
ARGS="-f /etc/tor/torrc”

This appears to have occurred as part of a recent package update, as I 
experienced exactly the same issue on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (trusty), and tor was 
using /etc/tor/torrc a few weeks ago.

(Also, Billy, please don’t top-post, it makes the thread of conversation hard 
to read.
Instead, post after the paragraph you’re replying to, and edit the message down 
to the parts needed to understand your response.)

This isn't really a Tor issue, it's an Ubuntu one. But you need to
figure out how "service" is launching Tor and change it to point to your
/etc torrc.

[tor-relays] Tor is starting without the -f /etc/tor/torrc option

2015-09-20 Thread Tor Stuff
I am running tor on a new Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS system. I have restarted tor a
couple of times with

  service tor restart

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

  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
  ... -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

   /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
