Re: Failed to Lock PID File

["Mike Sweetser - Adhost" <mikesw () adhost com>]

So of course, now it works.  Go figure. :)

Thanks for the help; if it happens again, I'll do the patch addition and try it that way.

By the way, I also installed this from ports, so if I do this, I'll also get the instructions on how to do that, since 
I'll be fiddling with it that way.

Thanks,
Mike Sweetser

Hi Mike,

Can you apply the attached patch which should print the cause of the
error?  Something like:

$ cp pid_lock.diff snort-2.8.2.2
$ patch -p0 < lock.diff
$ make
$ make install

Try running and posting output again and we'll try to go from there.

Thanks,
Todd
