Require packages:

Download the "base" following link using wget command

[root@snort snort_install]# wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/secureideas/files/latest/download?source=files

Extract and move the base directory to apache home directory

[root@snort snort_install]# tar -zvxf base-1.4.5.tar.gz

[root@snort snort_install]# mv base-1.4.5 /var/www/html/base

Change the  group "apache" and give the permission 775
