Re: Snort /SERVICE parameter (Win32)

[Ueli Kistler <iuk () gmx ch>]

Re

i set these options already before.. but doesn't work also (check in 
registry the settings also).

- Same folder: noticed also already that this is problem, but that's not 
my problem
- It is the service version of StdDB
- i kept the path names short (for ex. "C:\Snort" and not 
"C:\programme\snort", to avoid possible problems with 8 char long 
strings.. but it's not really necessary i think in service mode, also 
spaces in the pathname shoudn't not be a problem for the service mode, 
because the names are taken from the registry)

I tested this on W2k and an XP host.. a friend of mine got error 202.. i 
only get error 2.. (getlasterror message):
[SNORT_SERVICE] StartServiceCtrlDispatcher error = 2
Fatal Error, Quitting..

Starting the service from the System services dialog of windows doesn't 
work too (Service is *installed* correctly)..
Does the service mode work in fact? Strange thing.

Regards & thanks for reply!
