After starting Snort, about 10 minutes in to it, it dies with this error. Any ideas?
Yep. You're running on a MS platform. ;-)
Log directory = log Initializing Network Interface \ ERROR: OpenPcap() FSM compilation failed: syntax error PCAP command: Files\Sourcefire\Snort\snort.conf -l C:\Program Files\Sourcefire\S nort -N -A full -h 192.168.1.253/32 -i 1 -o Fatal Error, Quitting..
It's acutally a fairly common error. IDSCenter/Snort/Something on the Win32 platforms need to use short pathnames or to _not_ have a space in them. As it stands, snort is seeing your interface as "\". Note the line that says "PCAP command: Files\Sourcefire\Snort\snort.conf -l ..."? That's where your problem is. Fix? Not 100% sure. I'm not Win32 clueful. I'd say uninstall all the parts, and then reinstall using shortpathnames or into a dir like "C:\snort". Good luck! ----- Erek Adams Nifty-Type-Guy TheAdamsFamily.Net _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
