Error with Acid

[sam wun <sam.wun () authtec net>]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me why I got the following error:

*Error (p)connecting to DB : *snort@localhost:3306

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)

There is no mysql.sock in the /tmp directory.

The mysql server setup with the following /usr/local/etc/my.cnf file:
[client]
#password       = your_password
port            = 3306
socket          = /tmp/mysql.sock

# Here follows entries for some specific programs

# The MySQL server
[mysqld]
port            = 3306
socket          = /tmp/mysql.sock
skip-locking
key_buffer = 256M
max_allowed_packet = 1M
table_cache = 256
sort_buffer_size = 1M

myisam_sort_buffer_size = 64M

# Try number of CPU's*2 for thread_concurrency

Thanks
Sam
