Re: Snort Configuration ERROR

["Michael Steele" <michaels () winsnort com>]

You are most likely having problems with line 325, and possibly 326.

 

Snort does not bundle optional 3rd party libraries, and they need to be included when Snort is compiled

 

For Windows; line 325 is the only line that needs hashed out because we need liblzma included, and I’m not sure how to 
do that with Windows.

 

Kindest regards,

Michael...

Subject: [Snort-users] Snort Configuration ERROR

 

Hi,

 

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to validate my configuration of Snort.

 

I'm entering this command: 

sudo snort -T -i eth0 -u snort -g snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf

 

And then it will run, but at the end, I get this error: 

ERROR: /etc/snort/snort.conf(326) => Invalid keyword '}' for server configuration.

Fatal Error, Quitting..

 

I've seen other posts from people who've recently gotten this error too, but I've seen no solution. I tried commenting 
line 326 out in my snort.conf file, but then the error just kept moving to the following lines.

 

Can someone please help? I'm installing Snort on a Ubuntu VM.

 

Thanks.
