[tor-relays] Having trouble getting my relay to be picked up

[Stephen Downward]

Good evening,

I am having some trouble running a tor relay node. I have forwarded TCP 
9001, and can confirm I can access it from outside of my network. I used 
the following instructions to set up my node: 
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide/DebianUbuntu

Here is the relevant snippet from my log file:

As you can see, I'm not getting "Self-testing indicates your ORPort is 
reachable from the outside. Excellent. Publishing server descriptor.", 
which would indicate that the relay is working properly. The server does 
not have any outgoing connections blocked. I am unsure what to do in 
order to get this to work - some help would be beneficial.


Thanks!
