RE: [Snort-users] 1.9.1 winxp home

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?

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
