Re-Install Tor on raspberry, keep torrc and fingerprint
Hello there. I recently updated my Raspberry to the Jessie-Release. During this procedure TOR updated to 0.2.7.x (?). Now I have the problem that TOR is running as a new process and I cannot access it via ARM. Everytime I start ARM, any user, it show the "Menu" where I can choose as what the TOR should work. I say "last config". In the status screen it says: 22:32:37 [ARM_WARN] Connection refused. Is the ControlPort enabled? arm - raspberrypi (Linux 4.1.13+) Tor Disconnected (press r to reconnect) On page 4: page 4 / 5 - m: menu, p: pause, h: page help, q: quit Tor Configuration File: 1 ### Unable to load the torrc ### ==== What to do? For me it looks the best to remove TOR completely and reinstall it clean. But how to keep my Fingerprint and the Stats? Or anyone has a idea how to fix this. Im not so deep into linux to fix this error. https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/E20FF09A9A800B16C1C7C16E8C0DF95F46F649 B0 Anyone can help me? Best regards, volker
Hey Volker, Never tried this, but there's something in the FAQ about this... https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#UpgradeOrMove I remember some people saying you need to save every keys (and not only 1 as said in the FAQ), if I'm not wrong, in Raspbian you can find them in /var/lib/tor/keys And in the torrc, check this/// //DataDirectory /var/lib/tor/ I'm not sure, and I'm sadly noob with Tor, but this easy solution can be tried quickly I think... + when I check on my Raspbian (Jessie), debian-tor is the user/group by default on the directory /var/lib/tor I always launch arm with this command : sudo -u debian-tor arm Your /etc/tor/torrc config file has been overwritten by the upgrade ? Have you check it ? Good luck! Le 04/02/2016 22:44, Volker Mink a écrit :

Hey Volker, Indeed, like Pierre said, backup all keys not only private key, backup torrc as well. Then you can reinstall your Pi. And about ControlPort, read: https://www.reddit.com/r/TOR/comments/2haw9s/having_some_issues_with_arm_and... Cheers! On 5 February 2016 at 13:41, Pierre L. <petrus@miosweb.mooo.com> wrote:

I remember some people saying you need to save every keys (and not only 1 as said in the FAQ), if I'm not wrong, in Raspbian you can find them in /var/lib/tor/keys
And in the torrc, check this *DataDirectory /var/lib/tor*
I'm not sure, and I'm sadly noob with Tor, but this easy solution can be tried quickly I think... + when I check on my Raspbian (Jessie), debian-tor is the user/group by default on the directory /var/lib/tor
I always launch arm with this command : sudo -u debian-tor arm
Your /etc/tor/torrc config file has been overwritten by the upgrade ? Have you check it ?
Good luck!
