Snort fails after rules update, what do I do?

To fix this, you will need to edit ’/usr/local/bin/snortrules.pl’

• Login to IPCOP using putty or WinSCP (remember SSH on IPCOP is port 222 not 22)
• Edit /usr/local/bin/snortrules.pl
• Find

      my $rulesbranch="current";

      and replace with
      my $rulesbranch="2.6";

• Save the file
• You may have to wait 15 mn after a previous rules load to be allowed to load rules again
