snort -E -c c:\snort\etc\snort.conf
I am get the following error message:
Can not get write access to logging directory "log". (dorectory doesn't exist or permissions 
are set incorrectly or it is not a directory at all)
Hi,
    It means,you have not created the /var/log/snort directory. This directory should be 
created before starting snort.
So that all log and alerts get stored there for your reference.
 
Does anyone know why this is happening...am I doing something wrong or do I need to change a 
setting.
 
Just create the /var/log/snort directory. Check for it's permissions.
Now start your snort. It will work fine.
 

Or, better yet since this is a Windows box, how about creating
c:\snort\log directory

:)
