[Snort-users] snort IDS mode and mssql

From: Adam Maxwell (amaxwellelliott-group.co.uk)

Hi, I have just installed snort on a laptop running
 
Windows 2003 Standard Server
SQL 2000 SP3a
Snort-2_2_0RC1
 
I have created a database called snort with a username "snort" and
password "snort". I have created the database schema, and also created a
ODBC link to the database. The snort user has db_owner rights to the
database.
 
When I use snort with the -c option i get an error saying can't write to
log directory, can someone tell me the correct settings in my snort.conf
file. This is what I have tried
 
"output database: log, mssql, dbname=snort, user=snort, host=localhost
password=snort"
 
The error I get is.
 
ERROR: Can not write access to logging directory "log". (directory
doesn't exist or permissions are set incorrectly or it is not a
directory at all)
 
Fatal Error, Quitting
