RE: Snort not connecting to MySQL

None.  Snort in and of itself is working.  But after reviewing a bunch
of tcpdump data it looks as if snort isnt even trying to connect to the
mysql database.  This is baffling me because snort isnt even outputting
any errors (anywhere that i know to look) about mysql connections or
anything of that nature.  Anyone have any ideas on where i should start
looking on the snort machine to figure out what is wrong here?

Thanks.

Subject: [Snort-users] Snort not connecting to MySQL


I have snort installed and working for the most part...but the only
thing that is not working is it is not connecting to the mysql database
to update it.  I have verified that the host running snort CAN access
the database...it just seems that snort isn't.  I have quadruple checked
the following and it is correct:

output database: log, mysql, user=snort password=snort dbname=snort
host=10.0.0.2 port=3306

Can anyone give me a heads up on how to figure out what is going on here
that it is not connecting or how to turn on mysql logging?

Thanks.
