I am running tor on a new Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS system. I have restarted tor a couple of times with
service tor restart
I noticed when I start arm that it is telling me that
The torrc differs from what tor's using. You can issue sighup to reload ...
It seems that tor is running with default values and is not reading /etc/tor/torrc as there is no ... -f /etc/tor/torrc option being used by the running tor when it is displayed with 'ps'.
The 'ps' output for the tor instance is
/usr/bin/tor --defaults-torrc /usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc --hush
I had asumed that because I have set DirPort to 80 and ORPort to 443 in /etc/tor/torrc and can see in the tor log files that those two ports are reachable from outside, that the running tor was reading /etc/tot/torrc.
Something is amiss with my tor configuration but I don't know what.
Any hints as to where to look would be welcome while I try to RTFM again!
Cheers

This isn't really a Tor issue, it's an Ubuntu one. But you need to figure out how "service" is launching Tor and change it to point to your /etc torrc.

It normally uses /usr/bin/<service name>

Signed PGP part It normally uses /usr/bin/<service name>
On Ubuntu, service starts /usr/bin/tor using the script in /etc/init.d/tor
Try editing the line that reads: ARGS=“” To read: ARGS="-f /etc/tor/torrc”
This appears to have occurred as part of a recent package update, as I experienced exactly the same issue on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (trusty), and tor was using /etc/tor/torrc a few weeks ago.
(Also, Billy, please don’t top-post, it makes the thread of conversation hard to read. Instead, post after the paragraph you’re replying to, and edit the message down to the parts needed to understand your response.)
