Hi, i've followed howto tutorial on how to setup apache2,BASE,snort and mysql on ubuntu 7.10. Its gone smooth until step 12. i've failed to launch Snort. The error is "ERROR: Cannot open performance log file '/var/snort/snort.stats'. i cant launch snort from # snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf like the tutorial said so i launch from # snort -c /etc/snort/rules/snort.conf but it fail to start. Can you give any suggestion or where is my fault?
the output of ls -la /var is drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 2007-12-30 20:58 . drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 2007-12-30 20:25 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-12-31 01:28 backups drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 2007-12-30 20:58 cache drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 2007-10-08 17:47 crash drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-10-15 19:31 games drwxr-xr-x 51 root root 4096 2007-12-30 20:58 lib drwxrwsr-x 2 root staff 4096 2007-10-08 06:47 local drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 60 2007-12-31 01:21 lock drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 2008-01-01 07:35 log drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail 4096 2007-10-15 19:17 mail drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-10-15 19:17 opt drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 580 2007-12-31 01:23 run drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2007-10-15 19:22 spool drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 2008-01-01 19:53 tmp drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2007-12-30 22:44 www And the out put of ls -la /var/snort is ls: /var/snort: No such file or directory
