Hi all, I hope this is the right place to ask for help with this problem.
I'm working as a research assistant at a university for the summer, and my project requires me to set up a private Tor network.
I'm attempting to run 3 dirservers on three different linux/unix machines. Most of the time, the dirservers upload their signatures to one another as they're supposed to, but I still have problems after that. I'll usually get messages like "Received http status code 404 ("Not found") from server 'IP:PORT' while fetching "/tor/status-vote/consensus-signatures.z"" (the 404s IP:PORT are always the same) or "[notice] While fetching directory info, no running dirservers known. Will try again later. (purpose 5)". Two of the dirservers give me messages saying "[warn] Configured authority type does not match authority type in DirServer list. Adjusting. (4 v 6)" when I start them up.
I have little idea of what any of these errors mean, and no idea of how to fix them. My torrc files are mostly the same for each server, and I've pasted one below. I hope someone here can help me figure this out.
Thanks,
Joel

The :5150 part for all three DirServer lines looks wrong. Every directory needs its own Dir port. Maybe assign Dir ports 6151 to 6153 to your directories, both in the DirPort and in the DirServer lines.

Why do they need different Dir ports if they're running on separate machines?

They don't.
Try specifying the authorities' types in the DirServer lines.

Ah, they don't. I was confused by your different OR ports here.
In general, I find it easier to run a small private Tor network on a single machine.

I had a chat with the system administrator today - it looks like my problems were firewall related (oddly, opening just the ports didn't work). Regardless, thanks for the help.
