I have started the tor service with no issue on whonix-ws and anon-whonix (although both won't connect to Tor because of this issue I'm having). I can also confirm that I have a connection on sys-net to clearnet just fine.

When I try to start the tor service on whonix-gw I keep getting the following error. I have used sudo service tor start, sudo service tor@default start and one or two other commands but no luck.

user@host:~$ sudo service tor start
user@host:~$ sudo service tor status

I am out of ideas and hoping someone else has come across this before.

You are not supposed to manually start Tor in whonix-ws or anon-whonix. whonix-ws is the Whonix-Workstation template and anon-whonix is the default Whonix-Workstation AppVM.

Neither you should manually start Tor in whonix-gw. It's not supposed to be started inside the TemplateVM.

Tor gets automatically started in sys-whonix (which should a TemplateBasedProxyVM based on whonix-gw).

Please follow the Qubes-Whonix setup instructions here:
