        same issue…subscribing

        just to clarify…i am having the same issue as the OP not the VRT issue.  I have actually disabled all rulesets.

        Jul 12 11:41:26	snort	80512	FATAL ERROR: The dynamic detection library "/usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrules/server-webapp.so" version 1.0 compiled with dynamic engine library version 2.4 isn't compatible with the current dynamic engine library "/usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicengine/libsf_engine.so" version 2.6.

          Hi,
            Just so you know i had exactly that issue as well after i updated to the latest version of Snort. However, after i searched the forum i saw people suggest that i force update the ruleset to resolve that issue,. This I did but then noticed the issue above.

          However, now, forcing the update has resolved both issues so you may want to try that.

            thanks for the suggestions but the error still exists and snort does not start.  if no one is having this issue i will reinstall / reconfigure but it was working before.

              If you have the "mismatched library version" error, that means your disk structure still contains files from the 2.9.8.0 rule set.  It should get cleared out and fixed if you force a rule download on the UPDATES tab.  If not, you can remove the Snort package using the DELETE icon on the Package Manager page and the reinstall Snort from scratch.

                    same error.

                    do i need to restart server after uninstall before reinstall?

                    Try this brute force approach.  Manually delete the /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicengine directory and all files in it, then force a rules update.  Or for an even more radical approach, remove the Snort package again, open a shell command line session and delete all the snort directories you see in /usr/local/lib, then reinstall Snort.

                    I may have asked you already, and if so forgive me for asking again, but are you by chance running this on NanoBSD?  For some reason your old Snort version shared object rules are not getting removed and overwritten with the new version during updates from the new Snort 2.9.8.3 package.  Shared object rules are pre-compiled and tagged with specific version numbers that tie them to the Snort binary.  Each time the binary updates, the shared object rules get a new version number.  The error message is telling us that you have a version mismatch between the Snort binary and the installed shared object pre-compiled rules.

                          Great!  Thanks for the feedback.  Not sure why those directories did not get cleaned on the remove and reinstall, though.  That is supposed to happen.

                            Any help appreciated!

                                    Try completely removing the Snort package and then install it again.  If you have "save settings" checked on the GLOBAL SETTINGS tab, you won't lose any configuration.

                                    Just upgraded to PfSense 2.3.2 with snort-2.9.8.3 and experienced this issue… worked like a charm thanks much.
