    Thanks Bhagya for your response. I have turn on only on the secondary
    snort configuration, but if doesn't exists an entry about http
instpect
    on snort.conf, snort doesn't starts. I have not activated any rule in
    the main configuration file. Only on the secondaries config files.


What is your http config?

If you are using the http config variables such as compress_depth  and
decompress_depth you need to specify these in your base conf (
snort.conf in your case).

20480



As mentioned in my earlier email, you have compress and decompress depths
set in your secondary confs. This requires the http inspect config to be
enabled in the primary or base conf.

All you need to do is add

preprocessor http_inspect: global compress_depth 20480 decompress_depth
20480 disabled

in your primary conf. This does not enable http inspect in the primary
config. Refer to the snort manual for further details.
