RE: RE: Win32 Snort as a service: Error 1067

Ok, so you didn't want to install IIS so did you follow the guide for
Apache?

 

This problem is only specific to your install and is something that is not a
general problem.

 

You MUST specify a snort.conf file using the -c switch, and all the
necessary paths MUST be specified in that file. Go back and check this out.

 

Look in your event viewer under application for any errors that Snort may
have generated.

 

To start over:

 

Remove the service: snort /SERVICE /UNINSTALL

 

Note: You may need a reboot

 

Make SURE you have properly edited your snort.conf

 

Now CD to the snort\bin folder and install the service: snort /SERVICE
/INSTALL -c c:\snort\etc\snort.conf -l c:\snort\log -i1 

 

Try running Snort using the service again and see if it is operating
properly.

 

To do this, go into services and go down the list to the 'snort' entry,
right click on the snort entry and select start.

 

If Snort still failed then:
