I have tried nginx and apache2. I have configured everything according to all the guides and my hidden service still won't come up. I've done port forwarding to the port I want apache or nginx to redirect to and still nothing. I have a few bitcoin and would be willing to donate if someone can help me get this working. I'm on Ubuntu 14.0.4.
My torrc
reads:
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 6666 127.0.0.1:7777
and the Apache2 config has the following components.
sites-enable/default.conf
<VirtualHost *:6666>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
