ACID & MySQL (Sensor)

["David Newsom" <dnewsom () flmultimedia com>]

Anyone,

Trying to do the windows iis with MYSQL and Snort running, when I try to run
snort now by the command given in the instructions (snort –de –c
c:\snort\etc\snort.conf –l c:\snort\log –i1)  It starts up but then I get
this error

ERROR: database: mysql_error: Can't connect to MySQL server on '3306'
(10060) Fatal Error, Quitting..

Also, couple of questions:  What should ‘sensor_name’ be or what does it
represent?

Oh, on the IIS, for the Virtual Directory for Console, I have a icon “STOP
SIGN” represented.

Any help is must appreciated, or the right direction towards corrections.
Thanks



Here is a couple of lines before the error comes up.
