error: c:\snort\etc\snort.conf(511) => unable open address file c:\snort\rule s\white_list.rules, error: no such file or directory fatal error, quitting.. not create registry key.

the whitelist , blacklist files required reputation preprocessor. snort's default installation doesnt create list files, create them.

if dont want use reputation processor, comment out or remove configuration file
