Thanks to all who responded.  Changing the directory structure to where
snort and IDScenter was installed (C:\Snort182) did the trick!

Happy holidays to all.

Peter,

Check to see what PATH you have set on the command line and then see if it
is the same in the IDS Center. On the command line I believe you are using
Quotes???  in the IDS Center config there should be NO quotes. On Winnt 2k I
have had the same problem and it seems that it's a path issue and not really
a write issue. In Windows when you log on as an Admin you should have total
rights to ALL directories. You can also check to see if "Administrator" owns
the folders you are trying to write too.

Good luck!!

Wayne

First of all - Yes, I have read the IDS Center problems summarized.

I think I have a different problem.  I am running v1.09/v1.8.2 on a WinXP
box.  I took all the defaults, and added "output alert_full: alert.ids" to
the snort.conf file.  When I test the configuration, I get the following:

..........
|> IDScenter test console <|

-- Press ENTER after checking Snorts output --
Log directory = log          
--== Initializing Snort ==--  

[!] ERROR: Can not get write access to logging directory "log". (directory
doesn't exist or permissions are set incorrectly or it is not a directory at
all)  
Fatal Error, Quitting..    
.........

If I run snort using the command-line built by IDS Center, snort runs fine -
it generates the alert file, the tcpdump binary, and the portscan file.

What am I missing WRT IDS Center and logging?
