RE: 1.9.1 winxp home

["Kalteis, Nico (Contractor)" <Nico.Kalteis () ed gov>]

You're right, I did copy the exe file to c:\snort.  I put everythng back to
where it belonged but to no avail.  In fact, out of the box Snort wouldn't
even start because it wouldn't find the classification and reference files.
Like I said, It DOES see traffic coming in and going out, but it refuses to
log anything other than a few characters of gibberish in the
snort.alert.xxxxxxx files that it put the c:\snort\log directory.
 
Any other suggestions?
 
Nico

Change to the C:\Snort\bin directory and try to run Snort from there.  It
sounds like you didn't have a path to c:\snort\bin when you attempted to run
the Snort binary.

there is 6 folders: bin, contrib, doc, etc, log and rules, and the Uninstal
file. 

In the bin folder there's LibnetNt.dll, and snort.

Olaf,  

We need a little more to go on than what you've given us.  

Does the Snort binary (snort.exe) exist in the directory where you installed
the product?  

Did you install a binary distribution or did you install the source
distribution?  

Check the contents of the C:\Snort directory and give us a little more
information.  


TIA, 
Christopher

HI, I've just installed Snort 1.9.1 on my winxp home edition box in the
directory: C:\Snort. 
When I try "snort" from the command line, instead of the list of commands, I
get: 
'snort' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file. 
Does that mean Snort hasn't actually installed? Have I missed something? 

Any help appreciated, thx, Olaf
