What did you do to fix Rails Error: Unable to access log file. Please ensure that /var/www/html/snorby/log/production.log exists and is chmod 0666?

Hi Tomaz,

Barnyard is responsible for parsing the Snort log files and putting data into the database. Without that, you will see no data in anything trying to reference the database, including Snorby.

Basically, you need it!

Hope that helps.

I installed everything BUT barnyard2. Is it possible that i don’t see any sensors because of that?

Thanks for the great information. I managed to get Snorby set up as well but I am also having issues with reports. Are there any additional steps you can think of that you need to get reports up and working. After adding the commands you listed it said it configured a cron job but nothing is listed under reports. Do i need to run the cron job?
