    Hello all,

    I upgraded to 1.2 everything was fine but then I added snapshot pfSense-Full-And-Embedded-Update-1.2-BETA-1-TESTING-SNAPSHOT-06-04-2007.tgz and I no longer had snort but I noticed it wasn't on the package list which is fine. But I tried to install ntop, it installed ok and said it started but when you check STATUS > SERVICES it's stopped. When you go and start it up it says it has started but it's still not started. So I uninstalled it.

    Today I noticed that snort was available I tried installing it, same thing it installs fine,but under STATUS > SERVICES it's not running but when you try and start it up it says it started fine but it still has the red X stopped. I also tried installing ntop again same thing. When you go to ntop under Diagnostics it times out so it's ntop is not started.

    I tried uninstalling-reinstalling reapply the snapshot. It didn't help.

    Any ideas.

    Should I go back to 1.2

      I have running ntop and i installed snort but i have the same problem, snort not running. Is there any incompatibility between ntop and snort?

        I havent upgraded in weeks but I just installed SNAPSHOT-06-06-2007

        Both NTOP and Snort are working fine for me.  Give that above version a try.

        Regards

          I'm new to pfSense, but I like it so far.

          I installed on my machine from the LiveCD 1.2-Beta-1 from 4/30/07, and then grabbed the 6-6-07 snapshot. I added the package SNORT, got my Oinkmaster code, updated definitions and such, but I don't think it's working. When I go to Services->Snort in the webgui and check for blocked IPs or alerts, there are none.

          For a while I briefly saw 'snort' (not snort2c) at around 96% cpu usage, but now it's gone.

          Should it be working?

          Thanks.
