I ahd the same issue.  Mine was the "classification.config"  was called
from snort.conf and caused the error."snort dead but subsys
locked".  I commented out the line in snort.conf calling fro
callisifciation.config and it s working now.

I had the same issue, check if you can connect to the mysql on
localhost,
or  type /usr/local/bin/snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf this should
show
any errors.

It seems like there's something wrong with the /etc/rc.d/init.d/snortd
script,
and not with snort itself.  Check to make sure that you don't have a
config
file error with 'snort -T'.  If that works, then check to see that
snort is
working 'snort -vd'.  If all that works, then it's a problem with your
script.

Cheers!
