I've tried to set up a tor hidden service on /var/hidden.

And after chmod-ing it to 777 and chown-ing it to debian-tor it still won't work. Why is that? Why doesn't it have permission to write to that directory and it has to write the default /var/lib/tor?

  • Also, the configuration for your hidden service from torrc might be helpful.

If you are on Ubuntu, then the apparmor policy will prevent writes anywhere but in /var/lib/tor.

I made a /var/lib/tor/hidden-services on my machines; that might work for you too.

You could also modify the apparmor policy, or disable apparmor.

PS: 777 is probably a bad idea.
