Fatal Error Unable to Write to log


Posted by Empier on March 20, 2005 09:15:28

Hey. Perhaps someone can help me. I run Snort through Windows XP from cmd.exe. When I try the basic run (snort -A Full -c C:\snort\rules\snort.conf) it goes through till the end and says

ERROR
[!] ERROR: Can not get write access to logging directory "log".


The directory exists and i have no clue as to why it is unable to write to it. There are no files in the directory yet. Any one able to help with this one?

Make sure c:\snort\log exists and then try:

snort -A Full -c C:\snort\rules\snort.conf -l c:\snort\log
