      For testing if you have not selected 'Select Install Emergingthreats rules', select it in Global Settings.
      Click Save.
      Then try again Update rules.

      2.0.2-RELEASE (amd64)  &  2.2.2-RELEASE (amd64)

      Always trying to learn!!

          "I've tried rebooting, removing, and re-installing the package with the same results."

          After selecting the Emergingthreats rules, it successfully downloads those rules.  Now on the Update Tab, it shows:

          SNORT.ORG >>> N/A
          EMERGINGTHREATS.NET >>> 108bf1fd5ba0ec4d8d304232053459cd

            You should have the issue in the system log.

              What should I expect to see in the system logs?

              Here's the last few days:

              I just did a manual update and it doesn't show anything in the logs...

                Update:

                I just removed the package and installed the latest version.  Now I'm getting this message every time I try to manually update:

                "php: /snort/snort_download_rules.php: Please wait… You may only check for New Rules every 15 minutes..."

                Yes, I've waited the 15 minutes in between tries.

                    I had this exact problem at one point somehow my oink code was bad. I had the premium service and it had expired. I just re-registered the service at snort.org and everything worked fine after that.

                        I followed Cino's link to completely remove Snort and re-installed.  = Same Issue

                        Tried creating new Snort account and generated a new oinkcode = Same Issue.
