RE: Newbie ACID config problem

[Kevin Brown <Kevin.M.Brown () asu edu>]

This is a php issue, not an ACID or snort issue.  The problem is that php is
expecting the unix socket to connect to mysql to be located in /tmp.  It's
not there so it can't connect.  Find mysql.sock (usually in /var/lib/mysql
for Redhat when installed via rpm's) and simlink it to /tmp/mysql.sock:

ln -s /var/lib/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

should work then.
