why apt-get comes with error on this?
Hello guys, I wanted to install tor+privoxy on this new install of lenny on my pc. On the previous system, it worked fine and installed correctly. But on this one I get this output:
Code:
localhost:/home/anarion# apt-get install tor |
Yes, something has bound to 127.0.0.1:9050 which is what Tor wants.
Code:
Apr 19 18:16:38.848 [warn] Could not bind to 127.0.0.1:9050: Cannot assign requested address |
After running the command, nothing shows up:
Code:
localhost:/home/anarion# netstat -nap | grep :9050 |
I doubt it, but sure, stop iptables. Have you tried running your apt-get install again? Is there anything more in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/tor/tor.log ?
|
the tor.log doesn't exist at all, and nothing about this problem was stated in syslog :( I disabled the iptables temporarily and tried to reinstall... but the same came up :doh:
so, what can be the cause? Thanks for helping me out :) |
OK I finally managed to work it out!:hattip:
It was iptables, now that I installed firestarter, it allowed all outgoing connections, I did that because of my torrent downloads, but now tor started without problem. Thanks! |
It was iptables Nope! It was the loopback device being down. A simple ifconfig did the job:
Code:
ifconfig Code:
ifconfig lo up |
