Hello! Im trying to install whonix in virtualbox for the first time.
I imported the latest appliance and when I try to start and upgrade whonix gateway I get this error message:
Tor not running. (tor_pid_message: Pid File /var/run/tor/tor.pid doest not exist)
I tried to google it but I found no answers so looking here for help.
When I try to start workshop it says:
Tor’s control port could not be reached!
No, I’ve tried rebooting 2 times.
Can you try please what is being said in the screenshot, i.e. restart Tor?

Hi BerryDa
Could you please run these commands in Whonix-Gateway konsole and post the output.
ls -l /var/run/tor
ls -l /var/run/tor/tor.pid

Hello again, After I restarted the 3rd time it worked. Now both gateway and workstation check success. Sorry for dumb questions :/
