------------------------------+--------------------------
When I use relative paths in my torrc, tor tells me what it will use for
the PidFile, and then claims it can't find it.
It also has a similar issue with a relative data directory and
control_auth_cookie.
{{{
Oct 25 11:24:12.784 [warn] Path for PidFile (./data/tor.2/tor.pid) is
relative and will resolve to
/home/ubuntu/bwauth/torflow/NetworkScanners/BwAuthority/./data/tor.2/tor.pid.
Is this what you wanted?
...
Oct 25 11:24:12.000 [warn] Unable to open "./data/tor.2/tor.pid" for
writing: No such file or directory
Oct 25 11:24:12.000 [warn] Couldn't open
"./data/tor.2/control_auth_cookie.tmp" (./data/tor.2/control_auth_cookie)
for writing: No such file or directory
}}}
