RE: RE: Win32 Snort as a service: Error 1067

Sean,

 

This is confusing.

 

Did you follow the guide exactly as it instructed, or did you modify the
install to your specs?

Cheers...

Subject: [Snort-users] RE: Win32 Snort as a service: Error 1067

 

Hi I wanted to share my experiences with Snort on Windows, and the error
1067 when I used it as a service. I have a windows xp machine and have
installed the 2.0.1 win32 binary off the snort.org website. Winpcap 3.0.0
installed. Easy install and I just went for it and I got it to run as a
service with the commands:

 

C:\>cd C:\snort\bin

C:\>snort /service /install -l C:\snort\log

 

no problems there. The service starts and stops beautifully. But then I
tried following Silicon Defense's guide and that's when I got the 1026
error:

http://www.silicondefense.com/support/windows/winsnortdocs/winsnarfiis.php

 

Michael uses the command: snort /SERVICE /INSTALL -c
d:\applications\snort\etc\snort.conf -l c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\log -ix

 

I modified that (only one partition and no iis).

 

snort /SERVICE /INSTALL -c c:\snort\etc\snort.conf -l c:\snort\log -i1

 

At that point when you try to start the service it stops and gives you an
error 1067.

 

Hope that helps confused people. Note I didn't download snort off of
www.silicondefense.com. Perhaps it is a slightly different build w/ fixes.
