Could not bind to 127.0.0.1:9050: Address already in use. Is Tor already running?
What works for me:
killall tor
netstat
will tell you what's listening on that port. Open a terminal (press Ctrl+Alt+T), and run:
sudo netstat -plnt | fgrep 9050
It will tell you which program is using that port. For example, on my system, it shows:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9050 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1198/tor
At the end, it says that the program listening on that port is tor
.
@David Foerster's answer: killall tor
did not work for me.
I got the result tor: no process found.
New solution: sudo killall tor
restart your device and run again. port will be realse.
