The displayed:
Nov 10 10:34:08.189 [notice] Tor 0.1.0.15 opening log file.
Nov 10 10:34:08.190 [notice] Initialized libevent version 1.1a using method
epoll
Nov 10 10:34:08.192 [warn] connection_create_listener(): Could not bind to
port 9050: Cannot assign requested address
Nov 10 10:34:08.193 [err] options_act(): Failed to bind one of the listener
ports.
Nov 10 10:34:08.193 [err] init_from_config(): Acting on config options left
us in a broken state. Dying.
However it was not obvious what was wrong so I ran strace, which
showed:
19377 bind(8, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(9050),
sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.1.3")}, 16) = -1 EADDRNOTAVAIL (Cannot assign
requested address)
I had put
SocksBindAddress 192.168.1.3
In there by mistake. The "HOST" is known by 192.168.1.2 and 127.0.0.1,
so this was the reason for EADDRNOTAVAIL.
SUGGESTION:
could the error bessage display the IP it tries to bind along with a
hint. Something like: "I can only bind local addresses, does this ip
belog to this host?"
