Where did you copy them to?
Did you copy the torrc? What is your torrc setting for HiddenServiceDir?

What does the tor log say?

This is an error in your client's SOCKS implementation - it's trying to find an IP address for a .onion site. Tor can't supply an IP address for a .onion site, because it doesn't have one.

This is likely to be your problem. You need to use the same configuration for the hidden service to work.
i cant find a error in the log, the service starts without errors
But is it running a hidden service?
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/ HiddenServicePort 80 172.16.1.11:8080
Are these lines in your torrc file?
What torrc is your tor process using? Please paste the log entries that tor starts up with.

Hi Tim, thank you verry much!
i copy again the hole /var/lib/tor directory from the old one to the new one
i think the torc config is okay, because i habe not much entries;) i compare this
here is the start up log

Please check your torrc configuration. It's not secure to run your hidden service as a relay as well. Whenever your relay goes down, your hidden service will as well. People can use this to find your hidden service address.

Hey Tim,
Just out of curiosity, if one doesn't care about the discover-ability of their onion service, is there any other reason to not run a relay and hidden service?
I have an onion service and relay running on separate machines, but I was wondering if I could also run a relay on the same machine hosting the onion service and add it as a 'family' with the other relay. I do not mind if someone knows the location of my onion service, as I mainly use it to force readers to use Tor, and offer end-to-end encryption by default.
Thanks, Wilton Tim Wilson-Brown - teor:

Not that I'm aware of - in fact, one of the proposals for speeding up Onion Services involves running a service with an ORPort, and getting clients to extend to that ORPort and make Onion Service requests. https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/252-single-onion.tx... https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/252-single-onion.txt
