Sebastian,
That's the spirit!
To me that feels like the right thinking.
In etc/hostname there is just ubuntu. In the details for the VPS the hostname is VM#16 which I can't change there. Therefore what would be correct to put in the etc/hostname file?
Is it useful to know that the ip address I PuTTY into is 38.68.15.116 but the one in Tor's log with blocked ports is 173.208.211.179? They traceroute to different places but I can log in through either.

Hey,
usually this problem is due to a wrong set fqdn hostname and hosts file.
In /etc/hostname set the hostname: relay.example.com and run the command "hostname relay.example.com"
In /etc/hosts change the current hostname 127.0.0.1 current.example.com to: 127.0.0.1 relay.example.com
Though this is obvious run end edit with sudo and replace the example with the real hostname.

Hej,
[WARNING - if you don't want to see another Tor relay get going stop reading now.]
After installing Tor on a VPS running Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS it reports
[warn] Your server (173.208.211.179:9030) has not managed to confirm that its DirPort is reachable. Please check your firewalls, ports, address,...
The VPS operator is trying his best but says the ports are open and is asking others.
In the meantime does anyone have anything to offer?
