I think when you installed Tor, the service of tor is running since the Tor Request package launches the tor service you have to first end the original service. Or change the port in code. To end the service

sudo service tor stop

I am having the same issue, and

sudo service tor stop returns "service command not found."

Check for the correct port no of tor service. Change it to that. For stopping the service you can

cd /etc/init.d/
./tor stop

Thanks for the response. I am a n00b, how do I check for the correct port no?

i have the torrc file and everything looks fine ( i just used the default sample file).

I think my problem is the port setting.

edit. i am also on a mac this command doesn't stop tor.

cd /etc/init.d/
./tor stop

When i start by just entering tor in terminal, i cannot stop it. I am just restarting.

however,

brew services start tor and stop tor work fine.

Ok. That command will only work on Linux. So now that you can start, restart and stop tor. You can easily check the port no by typing

$ tor

The output will contain port number

wonderful. thanks. now it works but the counter does not work (number of hits doesn't increase), and the ip addresses are all the same.
