EDIT:

for the moment (until @jimp overview the code) you can edit the /usr/local/www/snort/snort_rules.php.

Go to line 178 and put a ";" (without quota) in the end of this statement:

$currentruleset = basename($currentruleset)

so it looks like this:

$currentruleset = basename($currentruleset);

Thats it.
