<p>My node was running fine until I decided to change the setting under the network tab, I checked the box for &quot;Use separate SOCKS5 proxy to reach peers via Tor onion services&quot; and on Proxy IP box I put 127.0.0.1:9150, on Port box 9150. When I tried to restart the node it wont start anymore, it gives me &quot;Error 127.0.0.1:9150 incorrect Proxy&quot; and it shuts down immediately. What can I do to get the node to start again? The GUI is not even starting. I just stared exploring with bitcoin nodes and I'm not knowledgeable at all, any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm running the node on Debian Linux.</p>

My node was running fine until I decided to change the setting under the network tab, I checked the box for "Use separate SOCKS5 proxy to reach peers via Tor onion services" and on Proxy IP box I put 127.0.0.1:9150, on Port box 9150. When I tried to restart the node it wont start anymore, it gives me "Error 127.0.0.1:9150 incorrect Proxy" and it shuts down immediately. What can I do to get the node to start again? The GUI is not even starting. I just stared exploring with bitcoin nodes and I'm not knowledgeable at all, any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm running the node on Debian Linux.

I would

Navigate to the Bitcoin data directory. Usually `%APPDATA%\Bitcoin\` on Windows.

1. Have a look at the end of the log file (`debug.log`)
2. Rename the configuration file (`bitcoin.conf`), if it then starts OK, reconfigure.
