meaning that snort isn't running can someone help please ?


Have you tried starting snort without the -D?

When you start snort interactively, instead of in daemon mode, you can see it complain about problems it encounters parsing your config, opening adapters, etc.

When starting in deamon mode, errors will be dumped to syslog if possible, but might not be sent anywhere if snort can't even open the logging device.
