[tor-talk] Vidalia no longer portable / --datadir option not working

2012-04-19 Thread virak toli
A while back

vidalia.exe had an option called --datadir where it would take
everything from that directory. It doesn't seem to work with the
latest vidalia.exe

Its a pity and I think should be fixed asap.

I'm not sure about Windows,

But this seems to work for me in Linux:

vidalia --datadir datadir

Before you run this, put the files torrc, vidalia.conf, geoip into datadir

torrc:

AvoidDiskWrites 1
Log notice stdout
SocksPort 9050
SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1
ControlPort 9051
DataDirectory datadir
GeoIPFile datadir/geoip

vidalia.conf:

[General]
InterfaceStyle=Cleanlooks
LanguageCode=en
ShowMainWindowAtStart=false

[Tor]
ControlPort=9051
TorExecutable=path to tor
Torrc=datadir/torrc
DataDirectory=datadir

geoip:

(Get this from the directory Data/Tor in the Tor Browser Bundle.)

You can do this for other datadirs with different Control and Socks
ports, so that you can run multiple instances (different identities).
