[solved] tor stop working

no idea why and it is a shame that I can not reach tor official site for help since it is blocked by our government.

I tried to downgrade tor from 0.2.1.24 -> 0.2.1.22 and openssl from 0.9.8m -> 0.9.8l, no change.

Mar  5 09:57:52 cruiser Tor[3310]: Parsing GEOIP file.
Mar  5 09:57:52 cruiser Tor[3310]: new bridge descriptor 'widerpart' (cached)
Mar  5 09:57:52 cruiser Tor[3310]: new bridge descriptor 'murble' (cached)
Mar  5 09:57:52 cruiser Tor[3310]: We now have enough directory information to build circuits.
Mar  5 09:57:52 cruiser Tor[3310]: Bootstrapped 80%: Connecting to the Tor network.
Mar  5 09:57:53 cruiser Tor[3310]: Bootstrapped 85%: Finishing handshake with first hop.
Mar  5 09:57:56 cruiser Tor[3310]: Ignoring directory request, since no bridge nodes are available yet.
Mar  5 09:57:56 cruiser Tor[3310]: no known bridge descriptors running yet; stalling
Mar  5 09:57:56 cruiser Tor[3310]: Our directory information is no longer up-to-date enough to build circuits: No live bridge descriptors.

and here's my torrc, I think this file is ok 'cause it works fine 24 hours ago.

UseBridges 1
UpdateBridgesFromAuthority 1

bridge [bridge ip 1]
bridge [bridge ip 2]
...

-- SOLVED --
it is because the bridge lines in torrc is outdated. nothing to do with tor or openssl.

write an email to tor and get new bridges solved the problem.
