Re: Snort failed to stay up after upgrade to 2.9.6.0

[SnortFan <SnortFan () yahoo com>]

Just for grins, cd into the directory where the snort exe is and run: ldd snort

This will show if you have any lib references messed up. When I did my upgrade I goofed on a couple of my sensors and 
performed the upgrade while still having the older version of snort still running. Yeah, not a good idea. 

Cheers,
