tor hidden service

[thisconnect]

In a similar setup to bbb tor --verify-config warns that Directory /var/lib/tor/hidden_service_bitcoind/ cannot be read: Permission denied

I'm not 100% sure and might miss something here.

Do we create the dirs for the hidden services somewhere?
i.e.

mkdir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/ 
chown debian-tor:debian-tor /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/ 
chmod 0700 /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/

(hidden_service in the example code would be hidden_serice_bitcoind and so on)

Not 100% why it didn't create the dirs (sudo ls -lah didn't show and service tor restart had no effect), however

reinstalling with apt remove tor && rm -rf /var/libs/tor && apt install tor this time with /etc/tor/torrc in place did create all directories and correct permissions
