Subject: Re: [Snort-users] Snort Start up error






I've run into this a time or two myself when I had commented out something above, where the line before what I'd 
commented out wasn't fully terminated (i.e. had a "\" at the end to indicate multi-line config). I'd take a look at 
what's directly above the line for including your classification.config (probably the IP rep preprocessor), and see if 
you accidentally messed something up there.

 
Also, verify that this directory exists: /usr/local/snort/rules/black_list.rules

 
If not, then: sudo touch /usr/local/snort/rules/black_list.rules

 
In /usr/local/snort/etc/snort.conf, verify that this line:

 
var BLACK_LIST_PATH ../rules 

 
to
 
var BLACK_LIST_PATH /usr/local/snort/rules
