Go to http://www.silicondefense.com/techsupport/windows.htm and click on the
link to download "Snort 1.8.1 MySQL Binary" (The link is duplicated here:
http://www.silicondefense.com/software/win32/Support_1.8/Snort-1.8.1-win32-M
ySQL-static.zip )

You have downloaded the WIN32 version without MySQL support.

Subject: [Snort-users] snort on nt 4.0


I am in the process of installing Snort 1.8 on a NT 4.0 server with MySQL.
What I have done so far:
installed WinPcap 2.2
windows installer
mysql 3.23.41 (installed and running)
snort 1.8.1
lastest snort rules
created db called snort usin create_mysql
edited snort.conf to include 
var HOME_NET xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24 #Class B address space
output database: log, mysql, user=snort password=snort dbname=snort
host=localhost

****
Please read errors at end of message.
Does snort 1.8 have support for mysql???
****

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Roger

 Check your configuration file to be sure you did not mis-spell "mysql".
 If you did not, you will need to reconfigure and recompile ensuring that
 you have set the correct options to the configure script. Type
 "./configure --help" to see options for the configure script.
