@SomeoneOnTheInternet Same here too ...

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.

Since there is _28 available it should be fixed:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commit/3afd280823909b850f3dc04849d6a3bc8d7659da

pfSense-pkg-snort: 4.1.6_26 -> 4.1.6_28 [pfSense]

SomeoneOnTheInternet

yeah, it's fixed with _28
