True! I forgot all about the horrors of installing Snort. I am just going to recompile everything and follow Harper to the letter. Hopefully, I can make it work. Theo BTW, Installing Snort is much more enjoyable while drinking Asahi beer. --- Dominik Gehl <dgehl () inverse ca> wrote:

I have looked on the web,atHarper, and other sources and I still can notfigurethis one out. I even took the SourcefireSnortclassand followed the manual but this problem isstillthere and I know it is easy but I can't findit.As such, I have already drunk 2 big hits ofbeerandam planning on drinking more. Okay, while installing MySQl I am getting the following error message; "can't connect to local MySQL server throughsocket '/tmp/mysql.sock' " I am at my wits end as to why this occuring.There iswhat 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 varioussettingslooking for the stupid location of thatmysql.sockbutI can not find it. I have tried this on thefollowingOS's. (Should be meaningless but someone willask)RHEL 4 FC 1-4 (Yeah I have done this 5 times, all ontheairplane) I got this problem everytime when I was typing /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql The error messagewouldonly change value from (2), (20) to (111) as Ichangedthe value of the sockets settinig. Any idea? I have my beer ready. Hopefullythiswillbe the last time I ever install Snort and canjustuseSoucefire IS.... Theo
