Aug 14, 2017 at 19:50 comment added cacahuatl Simply issuing service tor restart will restart the tor process entirely. Often for simply configuration changes you can just do service tor reload though. A DirPort serves HTTP directory requests (e.g. information about relays on the network) and an ORPort is what serves Tor users traffic and connections.
Aug 14, 2017 at 9:09 comment added Ysblik Ok Thanks, # the DirPort out. is - service tor restart - the correct method of restarting Tor, will it pick up the new torrc file I just saved, or do I have to completely shut down the computer and restart it? also what's the difference between an Orport and a DirPort
Aug 14, 2017 at 2:26 comment added cacahuatl It does look like that port isn't available, you don't need to expose a dirport (infact in future I think its going to be more or less deprecated) but it's possible that there's some port forwarding that hasn't been setup or a firewall or packet filter in the way on your network?
Aug 13, 2017 at 23:51 comment added Ysblik I can see the log, thanks, this used to be in /var/log/tor which is now blank, i now have a notices.log which is what used to be in the blank log file? i have been trying to understand what i should be running. I have viewed a youtube video "how to create and run a Tor middle relay on Ubuntu" I had done most of what is described but he stated that by allowing in the Torrc file under mirror directory DirPort 9030 it would help.......so that is what I did. I am now looking at the Notices.log its saying [warn] your server (82.3.6.169:9030) has not managed to confirm its DirPort is reachable.

Aug 13, 2017 at 20:26 comment added cacahuatl I believe that on Ubuntu tor now logs to syslog (systemd journal) by default, to view the logs run the command sudo journalctl -u tor@default
