 |
|
I get this error when i start tor,
| Code: | /etc/init.d/tor start
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] * Starting Tor ...
Sep 17 00:06:59.631 [notice] Tor v0.1.1.23. This is experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity.
Sep 17 00:06:59.634 [notice] Initialized libevent version 1.1a using method epoll. Good.
Sep 17 00:06:59.634 [warn] /var/lib/tor/data is not owned by this user (tor, 104) but by root (0). Perhaps you are running Tor as the wrong user?
Sep 17 00:06:59.634 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Couldn't access/create private data directory "/var/lib/tor/data"
Sep 17 00:06:59.634 [err] tor_init(): Reading config failed--see warnings above. For usage, try -h. |
Any help would be great

Try: chown tor /var/lib/tor/data
(and if that works, file a bug against the tor ebuild as it failed to set the correct permissions)
