This is not a BUG in BASE, you have a self-inflected injury to another
support program. 

Go back and read all the replies that you have received from all the users
to you from this list. The answer as to how to trouble shoot, is all there.
You are going all back over the same problems multiple times, and no I'm not
going to go back through all the emails and point out the ones you need to
read.

It's a very strange bug.  It only exists on your system.

We've been using base for as long as it's existed, and our copy has 
never had that bug.

Step 5: Verify that base can login to the db and read the alerts
its working - but when i clear the data tables on base browser 
gui, no new data is being recorded.

OK.  Base does nothing more than to display what's in the database.  
So, if  you empty the tables of data and no new data shows up, base 
is doing its  job.  The problem lies elsewhere.

i noticed that if i restart the services, or restart apache2, it 
will start displaying again... kinda odd, i would have to restart 
anything,, wonders if base is really the right solution at this 
point, or, maybe there is a switch to flick in it

In order to do fruitful troubleshooting, you have to take one step 
at a time.  Restart one service.  Does base start displaying alerts
again?
Then  that service is the problem.  If you restart several services 
and base  starts displaying alerts again, you have no way of 
knowing which service is  the problem.

Your problem sounds like one that used to occur with barnyard2 - 
lost connections to the database - but it's hard to tell without 
knowing which  service restarts the alerts.

Look at the timestamps and sizes on the snort logs.  Is it 
continually logging?  When the log files turn over, does the new one
grow in size?
