[Snort-users] Some please help me..

Being a pretty new user to snort I have tried my best and came up with nothing. I looked on the web, the website, the faqs, and anything else I could get my hands on and it didn't work. So here goes, maybe I am just tired and someone can point out my obvious mistake to me. :D (Praying)
I recently got 2.0.2 up and running, it refused to enter UDP ports and port scans into the database, after much hair pulling I decided that perhaps a new version would help. (Laughing like a mad man now, LITERALLY)
I download, untared, and compiled 2.1.0 with the --with-mysql option. No problem so far. I cp'ed the rules into /etc/snort/rules and changed the config file accordingly. I tried to start snort, the first error message I got was as follows :
Jan 11 05:21:41 sc2 snort: FATAL ERROR: /etc/snort/snort.conf(285) => Invalid file name for IIS Unicode Map file.
Couldn't find much documentation on this one, it is possible that I can't see anymore from swollen eyes but I swear to you that I could find NOTHING.
I figured that one out and fixed on my own. Next (Click) place that one in the exhibit A bag.
Thinking I am rocking and rollig along to seccess, I hit another snare that just plain doesn't appear to exist for anyone else in the world. The dredded phrase that I have grown to memorize like one does thier birth date.
FATAL ERROR: /etc/snort/rules//bad-traffic.rules(13) => Unknown ClassType: misc-activity
I have read until blue in the face and can find nothing, perhaps I missed something key.
But if you or anyone you know has any information that could solve this Un-Solved Mystery, please contact me through the list.
