Re: help on idsSnort

[Stef <stefmit () gmail com>]

Unfortunately the "point-and-click" mentality (no pun intended) may be
the problem. Here is my advice (not because I have/would ever used
snort in windows - but because I do not llike GUI for such tools):
- try running snort from the COMMAND LINE - any errors in the
configuration of snort, itself, would be revealed there;
- only AFTER having cleaned up the above, and having a fully
fucntional snort "CLI", move to <SomeGUI>center (or whatever), and
make absolutely suure its configuration matches the command line
parameters you found functional. I have a feeling (I apologize if I am
totally off - I do not use windows for this) that you may have PATH
issue, at the least ...
