Hi Guys,

I'm trying to log to MySQL or Postgresql, but have no joy.
This is my Setup :
OS= Red Hat 7.1
Have MySQL + Postgresql working , did a recompile and it detected bothe the
databases.
I can run SQL quaries on all my tqbles, and have no errors in any logs.
I modified the snort.conf to log to database (tried with either at atime)
Get this  error :

snort.conf 
######################
ruletype redalert
{
   type alert
   output alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT
   output database: log, postgresql, user=snort dbname=snort host=localhost
password=abc
 }
include exploit.rules
include scan.rules
include finger.rules
include ftp.rules
include telnet.rules
include smtp.rules
include rpc.rules
include rservices.rules
include backdoor.rules
include dos.rules
