I had that same problem.

What you need to do is download the source code, and re-compile it on your
system.  The problem is that the pre-compiled version doesn't have mysql
support.

Subject: [Snort-users] simple mistake?


I have snort 1.8 running on RH7.1, setup pretty much as standard, but I have
enabled the mysql loggin, provided a valid user and password (grant all on
snort_log.* to snort@localhost identified by 'password';)
restarted snort and I am getting entries in the /var/log/messages files and
in /var/log/snort/ but I am not getting any logging to the daatabase.

I tried "mysql -u snort -ppassword snort_log" and was able to execute select
statements. I don't know what to do next, any ideas?

Here's the nsort.conf entry:

output database: log, mysql, user=snort password=password dbname=snort_log
host=localhost

Thanks,
