Failure to initialize (bitcoin.conf ignored?) #5277

v0.9.2.1-g354c0f3-beta (64-bit) through 31.2.0 (Tor Browser 4.0.1) on Mac OS X 10.7.5, 2.5 GHz i7 MBP, 16 GB DDR3, 960 GB SSD

Intermittent issue - one time. I started Tor Browser, and let it initialize. Launched Bitcoin. Failed to connect. Check of log indicated it was trying to connect through port 8333.

Stopped Bitcoin Core, stopped & restarted Tor Browser, relaunched Bitcoin Core. This time, it connected through proper port 9150.

For some reason, at first launch, Bitcoin Core failed to read bitcoin.conf, or ignored what was within(?)

Cannot be debugged without further information. Do you have a debug.log from that initialization? especially the part about command line arguments interaction.

Sorry, no. Note that I am a dumb user. Are there instructions somewhere on capturing this log? If so, please provide link. In this case, next time I encounter aberrant behavior, I will capture the log.

Otherwise, I understand the limitation. Feel free to close issue.

Just search for a debug.log in your Bitcoin Core data folder.
