Snort Won't Start After Upgrade
-
Thanks Cino for the usual help.
The alert mostly works when it does not work its mostly because of snort reloading or php doing something stupid though i have not investigated which is that does this.
-
Anytime!
Looks like someone figured out a fix for clearing the alert log. Take a look when you have time, http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/1765
-
I just pushed the fixes for the alert.
Test it out. -
tested and confirm it is working.. Thanks again

How did you manage to update Snort with that fix? Is it in a new ISO or must I place the new snort_alerts.php there manually?

Basically, when you see updates in forum and no change in package version, just reinstall(in this case snort package) to get latest files version.

Yes, I think that worked. Thanks for filling me in.

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I've been having the Unknown output plugin: "alert_pf" problem on my AMD64 pfSense 2.0 install.
I originally thought it could be a package problem; but after a few updates and apparently no one else has this problem anymore, I suspect I'm missing something.
Can anyone clarify if "Block offenders" is working on AMD64?
If so, any clues about why mine doesn't work?
-
did you tried to uninstall / reinstall snort package?
-
Yes, every single time.
Just in case, I did it again. No luck.Pretty sure my messing around caused this, anyone knows which library contains the alert_pf plugin?
-
Try to uninstall again, then go ti console and remove any snort package or dependencie left behind.
I think some post on this topic has a detailed info about this. -
