Next we'll create our log file (handy for debugging) with

sudo touch /var/log/tor/notices.log

sudo chown debian-tor /var/log/tor/notices.log

sudo chmod 644 /var/log/tor/notices.log

Check it with

ls -l /var/log/tor

Start the tor service manually

sudo service tor start

Check its really running (you can run this whenever you're not sure, it something is wrong you'll see a big FAIL notice

sudo service tor status

Finally, make it start on boot

sudo update-rc.d tor enable
