RE: No alerts on ACID

["support" <support () sitel-india com>]

Hi 

Today I got the error mesg when I starting the acid console for the 1st
time after restarting ,

Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in
/www/htdocs/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 335


Error (p)connecting to DB : snort@localhost

Check the DB connection variables in acid_conf.php 

               = $alert_dbname   : MySQL database name where the alerts
are stored 
               = $alert_host     : host where the database is stored
               = $alert_port     : port where the database is stored
               = $alert_user     : username into the database
               = $alert_password : password for the username
              
Database ERROR:Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

Also when checking for mysql ps -ef | grep mysql I could not find mysql
runnig
So I restarted mysqld and found a error mesg ....
( " No mysqld pid file found. Looked for
/usr/local/mysql/var/localhost.localdomain.pid  " )

And after this my Acid console started but with no alerts

Wht could be the problem

Also, if you are using RH9 you need to know that no more patches are
being
released by RH, it is EOL.  The fedora legacy project is doing patch
management for RH9 for as long as there is community interest and
involvement.

Check out http://www.fedoralegacy.org/download/ and
http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs/ for directions on using yum and apt
with
RH9 to keep it up to date.

Is snort able to capture packets on ur network?.
 
If so,is Snort is logging alerts to ur database?
        Before,running ACID,you can check whether your Snort Database is
getting all the logging details from the 
        senor by executing the following SQL query;
 
        # echo "SELECT count(*) FROM event" | mysql snort_db -u root  -p
         Executing above query on my system,has produced the value,

           count(*)
           4406
        #

        Here,my MySQL database (named as snort_db) contained 4406
alerts.If
no alerts are found in the database (i.e. a 0 is returned).
This will help U,to check whether Snort is logging alerts into your
Database
or not.You must check this before running ACID.
 
If you still find problem,right to me,I will send a simple and easier
configuration file to setup Snort-MySQL-ACID Setup.
 
Cheers,
Prabu.S
