yes, if i use the command (snort -c /usr/local/snort/snort.conf -i eth0 -A)  and can see lots of traffic on the 
console but nothing is getting dump in the log file, it is still 0 Bytes.

i did a R&D , by creating a file called local.rules in the same rules folder and added a signature (alert tcp any any 
-> any any(msg:"Tcp traffic found" sid:1000001);
in the snort.conf file i put a # before include statement of snort.rules line and added local.rules 
later restarted both snort and barnyard2 Deamons , Guess what i can see log file filling up, and in GUI i can see the 
alerts.

There seems to be some problem with the snort.rules file which PP has created.

If you run snort with -A console or -A cmg, do you see any alerts on the console?

Also run tcpdump against the interface you are listening from, simply

tcpdump -i ethX -v

Do you see any traffic? Replace ethX with your interface.

Subject: [Snort-users] Snort 2.9.4.5 rules using pp

Hi All,

recently i have deployed snort in ubuntu 12.04 using Autosnort , during the installation PP asked for Oinkcode ,as i 
am a registered user so i have provided the same.
After completion of the installation, i have seen that snort and barnyard2 services are running in Deamon mode, and 
in /var/log/snort folder a file with name snort.u2.1366**** is also created but empty(0 bytes).

-rw-r--r--  1 snort snort    2056 Apr 22 17:54 barnyard2.waldo
-rw-------  1 snort snort         0 Apr 22 17:54 snort.u2.136662*****

there is a single rules file called snort.rules in /usr/local/snort/rules folder which has all the downloaded snort 
rules, and same is included in the snort.conf file.  
Even i have run the snort in test mode using -T , it does not shows up any problem, its working fine but not 
generating any logs.

I have formated the server , and re-installed every thing manually this time. still the same problem. file is getting 
created but no logs.

pls Advice.
