torcp problem

[Ashton Vaz]

You've misunderstood and I should have been more clear.

I sent the email as I assumed that you might have changed the Control 
Port as well as the ORPort (which is what I had done when I manually 
edited the torrc file).  Assuming that you changed the ControlPort you'd 
have to change it in both the GUI & the torrc file.  If you *didn't* 
initially change the control port through the torrc file, leave TorCP at 
its default value (i.e. ignore my initial recommendation).

The ORPort, DirPort & Control Port are all different settings and not 
directly related to each other.  The Control Port is used by TorCP to 
control Tor.
