Hello developers, I am trying to deploy tor-weather by following the installation instructions (given in INSTALL) and the steps given in its README. But it is giving an error: *IOError: Failed to read authentication cookie (permission denied): /var/run/tor/control.authcookie* Please can anyone help me. I am a student and new here :) Also, can anyone please tell me how should I communicate or notify before sending a PR ? Regards, Vipul Sharma

Are the filesystem permission correct? Looks like an owner/group error. Am 25.01.2015 um 19:10 schrieb Vipul Sharma:

Sounds like this user isn't in "debian-tor" group, if you're on Debian. Note that I'm getting the "rewritten" (last year's GSoC) tor-weather into shape for deployment, and it no longer requires a Tor (using OnionOO instead). This is on "develop" in github.com/meejah/tor-weather and has a Vagrant environment for testing if you're interested in Weather development. There's some redundant code, and the docs aren't in great shape (yet!) but the vagrant instructions should work. -- meejah
