Hi,

I'm following the tutorial to install Snort on Windows 7. I've reached the part where the Snort configuration file is tested with: d:\winids\snort\bin\snort -c d:\winids\snort\etc\snort.conf -l d:\winids\snort\log -i1 -T

I'm getting the following error: ERROR: d:\winids\snort\etc\snort.conf(413) => No argument to 'logfile' config option.

Line 413 shows: preprocessor sfportscan: proto  { all } memcap { 10000000 } sense_level { low } logfile {\portscan.log}

What am I missing?

Thank you.

 

You line 413 is: preprocessor sfportscan: proto  { all } memcap { 10000000 } sense_level { low } logfile {\portscan.log}

Line 413 should be: preprocessor sfportscan: proto  { all } memcap { 10000000 } sense_level { low } logfile { \portscan.log }

 

It worked. Thank you much!
