Hi
I upgraded all relays and exits to 0.2.9.8 but the torrc file was then renamed on all of them when the daemon restarted automatically - this meant the torrc file was then recreated as defaut losing all my settings and all relays exits were not working - this hasnt happened in all other upgrades to new versions but was pretty inconvenient when having to go back and replace all torrc files - is this normal?

This should not happen, actually*. It solely depends on your package manager (this is who rewrites your torrc files), so consult its documentation how to deal with config updates. Please drop a hint here if you succeeded!
* This never happened to me on many systems as they have some sort of config management.

Hi
Im using webmin but have done for a number of upgrades and this hasnt happened before but I agree seems more likely to be a package manager issue - just very odd that all torrc were renamed and new default torrc were generated...

Hey!
I've updated an "old" Debian8 server not plugged since a long time ago, with Tor from Debian repo, and when updating it with a "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade", when Tor package has came, it asked :
Paramétrage de tor (0.2.9.8-2~d80.jessie+1) ...
Fichier de configuration « /etc/tor/torrc » ==> Modifié (par vous ou par un script) depuis l'installation. ==> Le distributeur du paquet a fourni une version mise à jour. Que voulez-vous faire ? Vos options sont les suivantes : Y ou I : installer la version du responsable du paquet N ou O : garder votre version actuellement installée D : afficher les différences entre les versions Z : suspendre ce processus pour examiner la situation L'action par défaut garde votre version actuelle. *** torrc (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [défaut=N] ?
Sry for french, so quickly, it asked if I want to use the new torrc file from repo, yes or no, and No was the default choice (what I've done). Tor has automatically restarted without any problem.
So in your case, it can be Webmin automatically answered "Yes" to this previous question, and the update has removed your torrc file, and the new has been set up...? (Ive not used Webmin since many years, I don't know if it can be possible to upgrade without any questions...?)
