[SOLVED] TOR and Vidalia

[DeBaas]

Tor and Vidalia, both seem to install fine but not working together.
It seems older versions where doing the job.
There are some complaints on the Dutch forum that the versions upgrade broke the functionallity.
I Installed both for testing but to no avail.
Fully updated PCLinuxOS KDE 32bit from PASS.
Someone can take a look at these 2 progs ?

If you install tor it comes configured as service and starts on every system start if a internet connection is available. this conflicts with vidalia which wants to start a new tor process on same port which isn't possible. also a folder in /var/lib has wrong permissions to use tor with vidalia.

if you want to use both together you have to do a

Code: [Select]

chown -R <your user name> /var/lib/tor
This have to be done as root.

I can't imagine that older versions did the job i use tor since i have pclos should be around three or four years now and in a standard configuration tor never worked together with vidalia out of the box. i always needed the little hack from above.

btw. the hack have to be done after every update of tor to get it working with vidalia
