2.9.0.4 is specified in pulledpork.conf

When did you upgrade your snort version?  PP will read the version
that you are running and attempt to fetch the ruleset for that
specific version, unless you specify the version string in the pp
config file.

That's not a PulledPork error, that's a website error. The
file isn't
there, which strictly speaking shouldn't be a 500 server 
error, but
since the application that handles looking for the file
can't find it,
the server will return the application error instead of a
404 not found.

With that said, I'll forward this to our Snort web team for
investigation.

Actually, no I won't. After looking at snort.org I see that
the 2.9.0.4
rule set is not yet available for registered users. So, 
you'll get a
404 (or 500) for the rules file too.

You can fix this for future use by using
snortrules-snapshot-edge.tar.gz as the name of your rules 
file. That
way, you will get the latest version of rules for either
registered or
subscriber rules automatically. Right now, for registered 
users this
will be a 2.9.0.3 rule set. Which should work with 2.9.0.4.

Now, per the rules of the drinking game, I will be taking a
shot or two
for replying to my own email.
