[Snort-users] snort-2.1.0 upgrade error

Hi,

I am currently having trouble upgrading from snort-2.0.4 to
snort-2.1.0. I am not able to start snort and I get the following error
in the syslog:

Feb 5 13:40:21 ndsapp su(pam_unix)[31698]: session opened for user root
by koadmin(uid=500)
Feb 5 13:40:36 ndsapp snort: Initializing daemon mode

Feb 5 13:40:36 ndsapp snort: FATAL ERROR:

file.

And when I run snort without -D flag, I get:

I have already updated my config files and the rulesets.

When I try /prod/bin/snort -V:

I get
-*> Snort! <*-
Version 2.1.0 (Build 9)
By Martin Roesch (roesch@sourcefire.com, www.snort.org)



When I try /prod/bin/snort -T:

I get:

-*> Snort! <*-
Version 2.1.0 (Build 9)
By Martin Roesch (roesch@sourcefire.com, www.snort.org)
USAGE: /prod/bin/snort [-options] <filter options>
Options:
-A Set alert mode: fast, full, console, or none (alert
file alerts only)
"unsock" enables UNIX socket logging (experimental).
-b Log packets in tcpdump format (much faster!)
-c <rules> Use Rules File <rules>
-C Print out payloads with character data only (no hex)
-d Dump the Application Layer
-D Run Snort in background (daemon) mode
-e Display the second layer header info
-f Turn off fflush() calls after binary log writes
-F <bpf> Read BPF filters from file <bpf>
-g <gname> Run snort gid as <gname> group (or gid) after
initialization
-h <hn> Home network = <hn>
-i <if> Listen on interface <if>
-I Add Interface name to alert output
-k <mode> Checksum mode (all,noip,notcp,noudp,noicmp,none)
-l <ld> Log to directory <ld>
-L <file> Log to this tcpdump file
-m <umask> Set umask = <umask>
-n <cnt> Exit after receiving <cnt> packets
-N Turn off logging (alerts still work)
-o Change the rule testing order to Pass|Alert|Log
-O Obfuscate the logged IP addresses
-p Disable promiscuous mode sniffing
-P <snap> Set explicit snaplen of packet (default: 1514)
-q Quiet. Don't show banner and status report
-r <tf> Read and process tcpdump file <tf>
-R <id> Include 'id' in snort_intf<id>.pid file name
-s Log alert messages to syslog
-S <n=v> Set rules file variable n equal to value v
-t <dir> Chroots process to <dir> after initialization
-T Test and report on the current Snort configuration
-u <uname> Run snort uid as <uname> user (or uid) after
initialization
-U Use UTC for timestamps
-v Be verbose
-V Show version number
-w Dump 802.11 management and control frames
-X Dump the raw packet data starting at the link layer
-y Include year in timestamp in the alert and log files
-z Set assurance mode, match on established sesions (for
TCP)
-? Show this information
<Filter Options> are standard BPF options, as seen in TCPDump


Uh, you need to tell me to do something...

: No such file or directory



Does anyone have any clue how to fix this error?

Thanks in advance,
Peggy
