Re: W2k Startup Error

I had this same problem as well. I just used: snort /service /install -l C:\snort\log and it worked fine after that.

  I don't have a D: drive so I put it on my C: drive without the "application" parent directory.

    You need to go down futher to "Configure the actual snort service" section below that line.  That was an example.  
Your install is on the D: not the C: if you are following that guide.

      This may not be the forum to ask this question, but I installed snort on Windows 2000 with no problem.  I then 
followed the winsnort directions (http://www.winsnort.com/Winsnort/guides/WinSnortApache.pdf) on installing snort as a 
service and received the error "Could not start the Snort service on Local Computer.  Error 1067: The process 
terminated unexpectedly."  And it did not start.  The command I used to install the service was as follows (from the 
snort/bin directory): 
              snort /SERVICE /INSTALL -de -c c:\snort\etc\snort.conf -l c:\snort\log -i1

      I also set the service to automatically start. Following is what the snort service properties path reads 
"C:\Snort\bin\SNORT /SERVICE"

      Any suggestions??
