The error is “ERROR: OpenAlertFile() => fopen() alert file /var/log/snort/alert: Permission denied" Doesn’t look like snort can write to your logging directory.

I've tried troubleshooting with every source I found online, but now I get a different error. If I run: snort --daq nfq -Q -c /etc/snort/snort.conf I get: Log directory = /var/log/snort ERROR: OpenAlertFile() => fopen() alert file /var/log/snort/alert: Permission denied Fatal Error, Quitting.. If I run: snort -T -c /etc/snort/snort.conf I get: [ Number of patterns truncated to 20 bytes: 497 ] ERROR: Active response: can't open ip! Fatal Error, Quitting.. I have an IP address and I can ping myself/others and receive pings with no issue. Please advise on what I can do to resolve this, thank you! -- Amal Saeed Simmons College '17, B.S.
