[SOLVED] TOR Stock on Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050

I installed tor and change /var/lib/tor chown to my user (vahid) and run tor:

And?
Is there a question, or is this just an assertion?

Why are you starting it from the command line?  Did it complain about your user?
Are you following a guide?   Our wiki?

I ask because this is a new machine and had not been using tor yet.  This thread prompted me to install it.  Now, I appear to be in Germany.
All I did was install tor and enable and start the service in accordance with the wiki and it is working.

Re: [SOLVED] TOR Stock on Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050

I flowed this wiki to install:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tor#Installation

I didn't have any issue in Ubuntu and Debian and Fedora.
I just installed and run tor command in terminal.

I just installed with pacman -S tor
and run from terminal!

but show me this error:

So I change chown vahid /var/lib/tor
and run again tor, but this time noting happened:

Re: [SOLVED] TOR Stock on Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050

I chekced log by $ journalctl -af and found out :

Could not open "/var/lib/tor/state": Permission denied

chown vahid /var/lib/tor/state

seems like It's fixed. But cause of censorship I think first time gone take some time to connect to tor.
I will mark topic to SOLVED if it's worked.

Thanks for replay.

Re: [SOLVED] TOR Stock on Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050

tor is a service, which you shouldn't run as a user. I propose you execute these commands to get your install back to the original state:

sudo rm -R /var/lib/tor/*; sudo chown tor: /var/lib/tor/

. Now start tor properly:

sudo systemctl start tor

If you have any issues, post them here; this should work fine as confirmed by ewaller

I can't find /var/log/tor for log.
how you see your tor log ?

----------------------------------

I found it. It's need to set in /etc/tor/torrc file

Like all other deamons, tor logs to stderr, which can be viewed through journalctl
