Check your snort.conf and make sure the paths are set correctly.

I am new to snort. I am trying to configure it to run on an XP workstation using IDScenter 1.1. I have been able to get it to collect packets from a command line but had no luck getting it to work from IDScenter. I get no errors in General > Overview when I apply. If I click on Start Snort, I get no error but no packets are being collected to the log folder. I get the error "Unable to open rules file: reference.config or ./reference.config Fatal Error, Quitting.." when I click on test settings. Any help appreciated. David
