Snort Beer Question

All, Okay, got a problem with installing Snort which has to be easy to answer. I have looked on the web, at Harper, and other sources and I still can not figure this one out. I even took the Sourcefire Snort class and followed the manual but this problem is still there and I know it is easy but I can't find it. As such, I have already drunk 2 big hits of beer and am planning on drinking more. Okay, while installing MySQl I am getting the following error message; "can't connect to local MySQL server through socket ' /tmp/mysql.sock' " I am at my wits end as to why this occuring. There is what I have already done so you don't tell me something I already know. cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf vi /etc/my.cnf [client] socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock :wq I have changed the socket value to various settings looking for the stupid location of that mysql.sock but I can not find it. I have tried this on the following OS's. (Should be meaningless but someone will ask) RHEL 4 FC 1-4 (Yeah I have done this 5 times, all on the airplane) I got this problem everytime when I was typing /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql The error message would only change value from (2), (20) to (111) as I changed the value of the sockets settinig. Any idea? I have my beer ready. Hopefully this will be the last time I ever install Snort and can just use Soucefire IS....
