Hi,
 
Brand new user, brand new install of Snort. I am getting this when I try to
start Snort.
The directory c:\snort\log does, in fact, exist. I am the administrator on
this machine and
I have full read/write/create privileges on this directory.
 
C:\Snort\bin>snort -L c:\snort\log -c c:\snort\etc\snort.conf -A console
Running in IDS mode
Log directory = log
ERROR:
[!] 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..
 
C:\Snort\bin>
 
Windows XP, SP1 and Snort 213 Build 27
 
Regards,
 
Mike
