Sorry for causing you that feeling.

Unfortunately, this next issue may require bigger changes.

Doing an upgrade with my existing suricata providers worked without any problem.

I then created a new CU184 vm and added PT Attack into it and selected the rules.

Then I ran the CU185 Testing update and the WUI page basically stuck at the running the CU185 and post scripts section.

I checked via the console and the update had completed with no errors in the update logfile.

However the WUI page fails to connect. It times out.

I tried this twice more with and without PT Attack in the suricata providers. Whenever P Attack was included the WUI page stops functioning.

Then on a vm that was timing out for the WUI page I stopped suricata via the console. The WUI page then became accessible again. I have tested this a second time and confirmed that a non responding WUI becomes responding again when suricata is stopped.

I have no idea what is causing the problem but I have been able to reproduce it several times now with my vm systems.

I will add this info into the Suricata bug that has been raised by Michael earlier.
