I am setting up a bitcoin full node on my fedora 28 machine. I am setting it up to accept connections via my onion address and my ip address.
After installing tor
I enter into my torrc file
and enter:
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/bitcoin-service/
HiddenServicePort 8333 127.0.0.1:8333
Exit torrc file and then restart tor by
systemctl restart tor.service
Everything good until up to here. Now, I never had an issue when I'd set this up on Debian systems, but I'd also restart tor with
sudo /etc/init.d/tor restart
but when I do this on Fedora, I get the error
sudo: /etc/init.d/tor: command not found
My understanding is that
systemctl restart tor.service
is the proper way to restart tor on Fedora. However, this produces the following error:
Job for tor.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status tor.service" and "cournalctl -xe" for details.
systemctl status tor.service
Produces the log output:

And:
Produces the log output:

I don't understand why I'm getting the permission denied error for /var/lib/tor/bitcoin-service/ but I assume that's a big part of the error. But since I had just ran
I was still running as root, so I don't understand the permission denied.
Thanks in advance for any help
