Hi,
    It means,you have not created the /var/log/snort directory. This directory should be created before starting snort.
So that all log and alerts get stored there for your reference.

Just create the /var/log/snort directory. Check for it's permissions.
Now start your snort. It will work fine.

Hopes this helps,
