Rules not copied during install


Posted by markw on March 11, 2005 16:29:09

Hi,

I compiled and installed Snort 2-3-1 on Fedora Core 3. Trying to start Snort with "snort -c snort.conf -bl /var/log/snort". Snort can't find snort.conf. It wasn't in /etc so I moved it there from the temp directory where I unpacked the source and now it can't find the rules files. Seems this stuff wasn't copied during "make install". Should I just copy the rules manually? What is the defaut rules directory?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Just copy the rules someplace like /etc/snort/rules and set the RULE_PATH variable in the snort.conf file and it should work just fine.
