The config file is in your home directory: ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf and your onion address should be revealed by the command 'bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo'.

Thanks but how do I edit the config file? Do I need a special application to do that?

You need a text editor. I like using a console based editor, like Vim, but you probably prefer a GUI one. Gedit was a popular one a few years ago, when I used the Gnome desktop environment. Any 'editor', 'notepad' or similar program you find on your 'tools' or 'office' menu or similar should do. It's just a text file.

Ok thanks again- will try Gedit.

PS just enabled RPC port in oprions and restarting- maybe can help connection re error above.

Make sure the bitcoind server is running and that you are connecting to the correct RPC port.'
