Your torrc wants tor to expect both socks AND directory requests at port 9050. Only one can.
Check the torrc file and move the Dirport to 9030. Restart tor and check the log again if it works better. Somewhere should be the entry "Self-testing indicates your DirPort is reachable from the outside. Excellent." Same for Orport. If you dont't need socks you can change it to <SocksPort 0>.
I hope I got you right. Good luck!
