Re: Fwd: new snort install, error when starting snort service

I think there was a problem syntax error in the vrt rules that I had originally loaded..and then I did not remove those rules when I applied the community rules, thus still showing the vrt rule error. I have now removed all of the previous rules and loaded just the vrt rules..looks better, however still throwing a fatal error...at first glance at the error this appears to be my config error in snort.conf.


Thanks for the help,
Mike

If that is actually what it showed for that line then the line is wrong. Looks like somehow that line got corrupted. There are two alerts on the same line. Also the line is improperly terminated among other omissions. Try commenting out that line.
