| Summary: | 0004989: /opt/csw/bin/vidalia executes but fails to start tor | ||||
| Description: |
You may have trouble starting tor with vidalia and see this in your vidalia log: [Warning] Failed to parse/validate config: Couldn't access/create private data directory "/opt/csw/bin" [Error] Reading config failed--see warnings above. Since version 0.2.19 Vidalia uses the path of the vidalia executable as the DataDirectory. This is designed deliberately in the software and is not a bug, but rather a security check. It has todo with the Tor Browser Bundle project. Please see: https://blog.torproject.org/category/tags/vidalia [^] |
||||
| Steps To Reproduce: | |||||
| Additional Information: |
Work around: A simple way to work around this problem is to copy the vidalia binary to the user's home directory the run it from there. eg: cp /opt/csw/bin/vidalia $HOME/.vidalia/vidalia exec $HOME/.vidalia/vidalia |
