BroLite has been deprecated for a while now and I believe it's actually broken in 1.4. You would be much better served by using Bro 1.5 and BroControl.

Here is a document about working with BroControl:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[http://svn.icir.org/bro/releases/release\_1\_5/bro/aux/broctl/README.html](http://svn.icir.org/bro/releases/release_1_5/bro/aux/broctl/README.html)

You didn't actually include the error that occurred. You need to include more of the text above what you sent last time.
