Hello- I'm installing Snort 1.8.1 on winderz 2000 w/ mySQL and ACID support following Michael Steele's article here: http://www.silicondefense.com/techsupport/winsnortacid_1.8.htm I've run into 2 problems thus far following this document: 1. After expanding the snort binaries Snort-1.8.1-win32-MySQL-static.zip(per the section "Installing Snort with MySQL" in the above ref'd document) and moving the rules into the "rules" folder, c:\snort\rules, i don't seem to have libneNT.dll left in c:\snort. Just curious why that may be missing and if i should worry about it? 2. I continued on and have installed mySQL from mysql-3.23.40-win.zip. After confirming the database,user, tables, etc have been created (following the instructions in the paper above) i run the command: C:\Snort>snort -c c:\snort\snort.conf -I c:\snort\logs -i2 (where interface 2 is the one I'm using w/ snort) When running this i get the following error: Log directory = --== Initializing Snort ==-- [!] ERROR: Can not get write access to logging directory log. (directory doesn't exist or permissions are set incorrectly or it is not a directory at all) Fatal Error, Quitting.. I can confirm the directory c:\snort\logs is there with "full" access currently set for everyone (the default). I'm sure I'm missing something easy in both of the above problems. Can someone help me? thx.byron __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
