First of all - Yes, I have read the IDS Center problems summarized. I think I have a different problem. I am running v1.09/v1.8.2 on a WinXP box. I took all the defaults, and added "output alert_full: alert.ids" to the snort.conf file. When I test the configuration, I get the following: .......... |> IDScenter test console <| -- Press ENTER after checking Snorts output -- Log directory = log --== Initializing Snort ==-- [!] ERROR: Can not get write access to logging directory "log". (directory doesn't exist or permissions are set incorrectly or it is not a directory at all) Fatal Error, Quitting.. ......... If I run snort using the command-line built by IDS Center, snort runs fine - it generates the alert file, the tcpdump binary, and the portscan file. What am I missing WRT IDS Center and logging?
