Snort will not install in Beta 5
-
I have seen some others here are having Snort problems, but it seems like my problem is different. I cannot get snort to install at all in Beta 5. Here is what I get when I try to install it:
Beginning package installation for snort... Downloading package configuration file... done. Saving updated package information... done. Downloading snort and its dependencies... Checking for package installation...

Same issue here… was just about to post something when I saw your post

It is an already known an reported problem. The mysql packages is not found.
Here is the work around.
In the shell do: pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/mysql-client-5.1.53.tbz
Then start the Snort install again form the gui.It should now install without problem, at leased it did for me.

Thanks for the tip, it fixed the problem for me too

The workaround did it for me, too. Should be an easy fix, though: either the relevant files should be put where the web interface is looking for them, or the URL the package expects needs to be modified.

at command or shell then install snort
pkg_add -r http://ftp.riken.go.jp/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/databases/mysql-client-5.1.53.tbz
pkg_add -r http://www.koksek.ru/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages/databases/mysql-client-5.1.53.tbz
updating emergingthreats rules
for those with the update problem just edit your
snort_check_for_rule_updates.php
$emergingthreats_filename_md5 = "emerging.rules.tar.gz.md5";
/* download md5 sig from rules.emergingthreats.net/open/snort-2.8.6/ */
$image = @file_get_contents("http://rules.emergingthreats.net/open/snort-2.8.6/emerging.rules.tar.gz.md5");
download_file_with_progress_bar2("http://rules.emergingthreats.net/open/snort-2.8.6/emerging.rules.tar.gz", $tmpfname . "/{$emergingthreats_filename}", "read_body_firmware");
this work for me
