Please check if it works when you select a ORPort above 1023. It is a common problem with Tor on Linux: it cannot open ports below 1024 when running as a non-root service.
News to me. Any advice on how I should search for a port? I tried a few incremental ports and got the same result.
This is standard behavior on basically all Linux distros. Typically apps that want to bind to a privileged port will launch as root, bind the port, then drop to an unprivileged user. Tor has configuration options to support this. See the "User" and "KeepBindCapabilities" options.
