Suricata 4.1.5_1 on pfsense 2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT (amd64) can't start
-
Hi guys,
I'm currently testing pfsense 2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT (amd64) and suricata 4.1.5_1. I'm having a problem with suricata service not running but banyard2 is running? Below is the screenshot of my test box.
Thanks in advance.

i'm currently using it on my 2.5 without any problem, do you have anything on the log?
Status / System Logs / System General
you should disable Barnyard2, it's old, unsupported and it will be removed, it could be the cause of your problem.
delete the interfaces, reboot and recreate it without barnyard2 -

I have experience this bug.

uhm idk maybe try to uninstall and reinstall suricata, remember to remove this option before uninstalling
or maybe @bmeeks can help you about this

I have experience this bug.
That PHP crash report is very confusing. When I look in that GUI package source code file, there is no such line using the explode() function at that line number. The function is actually called a few lines above. Nevertheless, I don't think that will cause Suricata not to start. That is just a warning message from the PHP compiler. I will address that issue in the next GUI package update.
To see why Suricata is not starting, you need to look in the
suricata.log
file for the interface. Go to the LOGS VIEW tab and select a Suricata interface in the drop-down. Then choosesuricata.log
in the drop-down log file chooser. Read through that log and see what Suricata complains about. It should list any errors preventing startup in there. -
Hi guys,
This is the output of my suricata logs.
-
from console delete that file
rm /var/run/pid/suricata*
try to start it again
-
Do what @kiokoman said and that should let Suricata start.
That error message indicates the running Suricata process crashed and did not have a chance to clean up after itself.
-
Hi guys,
I already deleted /var/run/suricata*, there is no /var/run/pid/suricata*. error is still the same.
-
nope, not the same, the error is now different,
now.. i see you have 16 cores
increase the Stream Memcap value on the FLOW/STREAM tab (inside interface) to at least 256 MB and try to start again, increse that value until it run. remove the pid again if necessary -
@kiokoman is right again. High core-count CPUs will need way more TCP stream memory than the default.

Thanks guys its now working.
