[tor-relays] Botnet issues and upgrading to 0.2.4.x

[Chris Whittleston]

Hey guys,

So I just started running a non-exit relay on a Raspberry Pi, and have hit
a problem where it seems huge numbers of circuits are being created which
overwhelms the system and can cause tor to crash. I read here (
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/how-to-handle-millions-new-tor-clients)
that upgrading to 0.2.4.x might help with this, so I followed the
instructions here:

https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian#development

And ran apt-get update, apt-get upgrade to get the latest version which
turned out to be 0.2.4.11-alpha-1~wheezy+1

There seems to be a problem with this though as when the install finishes
(or when I try to restart tor), I get this error:

pi at torberrypi /etc/tor $ sudo /etc/init.d/tor restart
/etc/init.d/tor: line 111:  9701 Illegal instruction     $DAEMON
$VERIFY_ARGS > /dev/null
[FAIL] Checking if tor configuration is valid ... failed!
/etc/init.d/tor: line 111:  972
https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian#development4 Illegal instruction
$DAEMON $VERIFY_ARGS 1>&2

Tor is not starting and I'm unsure how to proceed - help appreciated! :)

Chris
