Re: Attention ALL Windows Users : How-To Install Remote Sensors on Windows Running MySQL...

Starting with snort 1.9 (build 228) for Win32, a service will log fatal
errors to the Windows Event Log.  Check there for any clues as to what is
failing.

Make sure that you can run snort from the command line with all the same
parameters as you are asking the service to run.  Then try changing your
command line to a different directory, and try the same command line
parameters.  They should both work before you can reasonably expect the
service to start.

Make sure all of your specified directories exist.  Make sure everything is
using fully qualified paths, including all paths within snort.conf.  If any
of your directories contain spaces, you need to surround the entire path (or
command line parameter) in double-quotes.

Another test is to make use of the "-T" command line option of snort (when
running snort manually from the command line).
