Title: cant upgrade TOR
Post by: jase00 on May 02, 2013, 10:54 am
howdy peoples
I can't seem to upgrade TOR. When I download the last 2 or 3 releases and start up TOR it loads up and then says the proxy is refusing connections but it does load the tor checker page.. in fact it loads any page except for a .onion sites.  I'm having to use 0.2.2.37 which works fine.  It looks like the problem is happening with any version in 0.2.3.x I try.

I've checked the settings in TOR and they all look the same.. proxy is configured in firefox etc..

anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot or what I can do ?

thanks

are you overwriting the old versions or deleting them and then installing the new version, you should be doing the latter :)

ah, I was indeed just overwriting (and clicking "yes to all" to overwrite). Deleting then extracting as you recommended has fixed it nicely.

thanks heaps :)

Overwriting use to work a while ago but came to find out it doesn't anymore.  Weird.
