Snort 2.9.2.3 pkg v. 2.2.4 crashes over non existent rules
-
snort[4102]: FATAL ERROR: Unable to open rules file "/usr/local/etc/snort/snort_57646_em1//usr/local/etc/snort/snort_57646_em1/rules/pfsense-voip.rules": No such file or directory.
After updating from a previous version with for example pfsense-voip.rules enabled, Snort won't start because the rule doesn't exist anymore.
I know this rule and update has become obsolete, but maybe it would be an idea to check if a rule is in use -and- if it exists before starting snort?Great to see the package is moving forward to getting stable.

I added the check for that, just reinstall.

Thanks for the effort. I already removed it manually. Will test it later and post the result.

Tested with Snort 2.9.2.3 pkg v2.3.0 and it works. No more issues.
