Tor error

#1 Post by fch »

I had a problem with tor, then I tried 'sudo tor' and got this error:

Code: Select all

an 24 16:30:36.622 [warn] Could not bind to 127.0.0.1:9050: Address already in use. Is Tor already running?
Jan 24 16:30:36.622 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Failed to bind one of the listener ports.
Jan 24 16:30:36.622 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.
What am I doing wrong? I am using debian 11 with everything updated, started getting that error yesterday, previously it was working fine.

you are trying to start tor, but it's already running.

you can check the status with "systemctl status tor", and/or confirm that tor is bound to 127.0.0.1:9050 by running "netstat -plutn |grep 9050" or "ss -plutn | grep 9050".

maybe you want to define the meaning of "I had a problem with tor", before you try to solve the problem of starting/restarting it?
