      works for me but i'm running i386.. have you looked at your snort.conf to see if its there or not? also you could try add it manually to "Advanced configuration" option under the interface.

        I did add the new portvar to my snort.conf file, however this did not work.

        I did not try the 'Advanced Configuration' option, would this be any different than adding it directly to the snort.conf file?

        Thanks,

                adding:
                portvar FILE_DATA_PORTS [$HTTP_PORTS,110,143]
                to the advanced config section does solve the problem

                  Good call guys.  I just tried this and voila it worked!  Strange because I did add it manually to snort.conf and it was a no go.

                  Fixed.

                  Thanks guys!

                    will there be a fix where you dont have to edit the .conf ?  …i DID have all my 'servers' defined in the ....uhhh 'define servers' ....the bam...snort hit a bad rail and bummed itself stupid.

                    i dont mind editing the .conf ...but it would be nice for a person who doesnt really know what they are doing and just work...right? just imo  :-X

                          Gents,

                          Having an issue with the listed fix. When I add portvar FILE_DATA_PORTS [$HTTP_PORTS,110,143] to /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_51441_em0/snort.conf. When I save the file, and then immediately reopen it the new line is there. When I start snort I get the same error in the logs, and when I look at the conf again, the line is removed. I have uninstalled and re installed snort, but I get the same issue. Any ideas?

                            You have to put this config on gui, not in conf file.

                            adding:
                            portvar FILE_DATA_PORTS [$HTTP_PORTS,110,143]
                            to the advanced config section does solve the problem

                                          New issue seems to have come up.

                                          The fix above works….however, I no longer receive any alerts in the Alerts tab (yes alerts are enabled) and I'm not sure it's blocking offenders.

                                          If I use GRC.com's ShieldsUp! yes, it will detect that and block it.

                                          Now, FWIW, I recently installed and configured pfBlocker and am having it block a few countries that used to show up in my logs a lot.  Perhaps that's why I am seeing a lot less offenders being blocked?  I suppose that makes sense.  But, the fact that I no longer see Alerts is odd.

                                          Just curious of anyone who implemented the above fix noticed this?

                                          Thanks!
