I've been following this tutorial on how to setup Whonix with a lighttp server so I can host my own tor website.

I did all the steps described in the tutorial, but when I try to visit my tor website (through another machine) then it (eventually) says The connection has timed out.

And I'm sure my lighttpd webserver is running. Made sure by doing a ps ax | grep ligh.

My torrc is exactly as it says in the tutorial:

HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/ 
HiddenServicePort 80 192.168.0.11:80

Not sure about the IP address 192.168.0.11 though. Should that be something else?

If not, anyone any idea why my tor website isn't showing?

Whonix has it's own documentation for this.

https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Hidden_Services#Hidden_Webserver

I would recommend that instead, because that is up to date information.

The ip they say that you should point to there is:

HiddenServicePort 80 10.152.152.11:80

You can also double check the ip inside the whonix workstation with the command 'ifconfig'.

    I did try ifconfig before, but that showed the ip 10.152.152.10 and that one didn't work. I just tried what you said 10.152.152.11 and that one does work!
