Snort no longer working after 2.3.3 Upgrade

patd

I thought I would add a topic for this as well because I feel like it might apply to other packages that were once working in an earlier version pfsense.

As of upgrading to Pfsense version 2.3.3, I was unable to upgrade my snort package as well, kept get an error that the specified directory could not be found.

I uninstalled snort all together and just installed the newest snort version from scratch.

The package installs; however, it doesn't turn up under my Services tab and does not show up as a running service in my dashboard like it once did.

Package is installed but not running or accessible.

I saw this in the logs after the update:

/etc/rc.packages: [Snort] Removing all blocked hosts from <snort2c>table…
/etc/rc.packages: [Snort] Removing package files…
/etc/rc.packages: [Snort] Not saving settings… all Snort configuration info and logs will be deleted...
/etc/rc.packages: [Snort] Flushing <snort2c>firewall table to remove addresses blocked by Snort…
/etc/rc.packages: [Snort] The package has been completely removed from this system.</snort2c></snort2c>

Snort showed up in Installed packages with "newer version available". Tried to update:

Removed package. It threw some errors (attached). Rebooted.

Installed snort again without a problem. It now shows up in services and my settings are there too.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
