13) open up the file "torrc" with a text editor (e.g. notepad) and enter the following two lines at the bottom of the file.

HiddenServiceDirectory C:/Users/ ... /tor/hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort <OnionPort#> 127.0.0.1:<localPort#>

The part "C:/Users/.../tor/" is the complete path to the current tor folder.  "hidden_service" is a subfolder that we are going to create.

The terms <OnionPort#> and <localPort#> should be replaced with the port numbers corresponding to the local and onion address that you wrote down from step 11.



I'm stuck there.It says that tor cannot be started after the changes to that files.
Probably i wrote them wrong.The file looks like this.

ControlPort auto
Log notice stdout
HiddenServiceDirectory C😕Users\andrea\Downloads\RetroShare-0.6.4-Windows-Portable-20180312-91634ba6-Qt-5.9.1-tor\Data\tor\hidden_service\
HiddenServicePort  7934  127.0.0.1  9878


Where 7934 is the port of 127.0.0.1 and 9878 is the port of the onion address
What i'm doing wrong?

if it works you are supposed to have the onion port number first and your port number last

still doesn't work

It wasn't working for me either. Hopefully someone knows how to correct it

When you start Tor on Windows, run the following command in Command Prompt:

netstat -an | find "LISTEN"

What listening ports do you have in the 7000-10000 range?

For the path, use forward slashes "C:/Users/andread/Downloads/..." instead of back slashes.  Windows uses back slashes but retroShare requires forward slashes.

It gives me the same "unknown error".Now torrc look like this:
