[Oisf-users] Suricata startup error - [ERRCODE: SC_ERR_INITIALIZATION(45)]

[Benson Mathews]

Hi,

I just installed Suricata 1.4 on my server and I'm attempting to run it
with PF_RINGS, but I get the following error while I start suricata.
cat /var/log/suricata/suricata-start.log

Aborting!

I tried deleting the pid file and restarting it but get the same error. I'm
new to this, any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Benson
