win32 snort.conf error msg

Posted by soverfield on March 20, 2006 11:00:24

Hello,
I receive the following error when attempting to start the snort service, also when starting from the command line...
*/ERROR: d:\win-ids\snort\etc\snort.conf(513) => No argument to 'logfile' config o
ption.
Fatal Error, Quitting..
*/
Any ideas?

Looks like you are trying to pass a "logfile" arguement to the sfportscan preprocessor, but you
have no log file specified. Check out page 28 in the snort manual.
