************** Sorry for posting so often, but i am new and i didnot get the answer, but i read in the news that someone answered me. Can you please repeat your answer to my question. Thank you. ************** Hi together, i have a Problem with every snort version out there. The issue is that i compile snort like that: ./configure --with-mysql make make check make install during the configure option it shows me that mysql support is ok. When i am done, there is nothing. No /etc/snort, no subsys/snort, no var/log/snort and no /usr/sbin/snort. There is really nothing. When i make a rpm of the tar file it is working, but i can´t use it with mysql. After rpmbuild i got 2 Pakages snort and snort-mysql. I installed both but every time i restart snort it tells me that it can´t shut down the service. In the message log snort: database: 'mysql' support is not compiled into this build of snort snort: FATAL ERROR: If this build of snort was obtained as a binary distribution (e.g., rpm, or Windows), then check for alternate builds that contains the necessary 'mysql' support. If this build of snort was compiled by you, then re-run the the./configure script using the '--with-mysql' switch. For non-standard installations of a database, the '--with-mysql=DIR' syntax may need to be used to specify the base directory of the DB install. See the database documentation for cursory details (doc/README.database). and the URL to the most recent database plugin documentation. What does that error came from ? How to fix it. I tried to compile manually, but it is not working. My mysql server it up and running very well. Snort db and tables are created via the snort_db_install_script. Please Help me, i tried snort-2.0.5 and snort 2.0.4 and snort 2.0.2 Thank you in advance Michael
