        FYI.  Just submitted the Pull Request on Github for Ermal and the pfSense team to review and approve.  This request updates the Snort package to 2.5.7 and contains a number of bug fixes for the issues reported in this thread along with several enhancements and new features.  This is a GUI update only.  The underlying Snort binary itself remains at 2.9.4.1.

        Here is a link to the Pull Request:  https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/pull/433

        Once approved by the pfSense team and merged into the master repository, the update will appear on your Installed Packages tab as 2.5.7.  When it is merged, I will open a new thread containing the Change Log.

        Bill

        Great job again Bill, I have no reason to start a new topic with 2.5.7 issues yet. I have it running!

          Pfsense 2.0.3 x86 fresh install with 2.0.1 config restored
          which give me Snort 2.9.4.1 pkg v. 2.5.6
          pfsense_ng Theme

          I don't think it's a cache problem, I tried with Chrome instead of FF same thing happens
          go to Services/Snort page and the logo points to the  https://xxxxx/snort/index.php

          Really not a big issue, just annoying  ::)

              I could, that means doing and fresh install from scratch on another disk
              doing a manual config, installing snort etc ….
              I might  :-\

                  I guess building from scratch would gimme the same results as you.
                  I only have one system so if I find a few hours to spare I might do that.

                    and http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,36309.0.html ... i guess a search should highlight the prob  ;)

                          I will check on this. I'm pretty sure that during my testing runs yesterday with 2.5.7 I started Snort from the Service widget, but I will try again.

                          Is this problem happening on 2.0.3 or 2.1-BETA?

                            @RonpfS:

                            One little issue still present for ages is that when you are in the Snort pages,
                            if you click on the pfsense top left logo you end up with 404 - Not Found
                            because  the link points to https://xxxxx/snort/index.php instead of https://xxxxx/index.php on any other pages.

                            I can't replicate that behavior on my test VMs.  It could very well be something held over during upgrades.  I'll see if I can research history a bit and identify a possible fix for you.  As several others have posted that they do not have the issue, I do think it is something hanging around in your specific configuration someplace.

                              I haven't experienced this either..

                              Bill update went fine and everything restarted and is running like it should. :-D Moving over to the new thread now to follow.
