Is it possible that either the "DataDirectory" setting changed due to the update or the directory content?

Hi guys,

i updated from Tor 0.2.3.25 (relay 266C0CADC79F802C554019887324A57332A1DA70) to Tor 0.2.4.21 yesterday and the relay fingerprint changed to 07E333A3B979C27739096C5B2EE10D7C8E3D8FFD.

Is there any way to get the new version working with the old fingerprint? I looked in the manual and tried adding a DirAuthority line in the torrc file, which looks as the following: DirAuthority 123tor *:9030 FINGERPRINT

But then Tor doesn't start.

I also tried writing the old fingerprint in the fingerprint file, but it's changed to the new one everytime i start Tor.

So thanks for your help in advance and have a nice weekend everybody!

Yeah, that's not at all what DirAuthority is for. Can you help us understand what made you think this was a good idea to try, so we can fix it in the man page? :)

Hopefully the above faq entry helps.

Thanks for running a relay! --Roger
