snort -E -c c:\snort\etc\snort.conf I am get the following error message: Can not get write access to logging directory "log". (dorectory doesn't exist or permissions
are set incorrectly or it is not a directory at all)
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.Does anyone know why this is happening...am I doing something wrong or do I need to change a
setting.
Just create the /var/log/snort directory. Check for it's permissions. Now start your snort. It will work fine.
Or, better yet since this is a Windows box, how about creating c:\snort\log directory :) ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
