------------------------------+-----------------
 I run a Tor hidden service on a machine and I've properly configured the
 webserver, tor and everything else, following the official manual.
 However, once the site is up, after some minutes (about 30), it goes off
 (Tor browsers say that they were Unable to connect, after "Waiting for
 [domain].onion" for some time). I try restarting tor, restarting the
 server but nothing works. There is only a thing I can do to make it work
 again: deleting "hostname" and "private_key" files, so a new domain is
 generated and so everything will work like a charm again. For 30 minutes,
 again.

 The server is untouched in this time. Nothing is changed on the server or
 network. No IP address changing, no settings modified. And no, it's not
 entering in stand-by mode, of course.

 There is no error output on the console window, and I am not sure about
 other places/logs to look for error messages. I just have this on the
 console, but I don't know whether it's related to this problem or not:

 [warn] Received http status code 404 ("Not found") from server (some
 domain:443) while fetching "/tor/keys/fp/[many hex chars]".
