Re: Problem getting Snort to Connect to PostgreSQL database

[Alejandro Flores <aflores () ipad com br>]

        Hi Brian,

        Follow these steps:
        (as root type:)
        #su - postgres
        $createdb snort
        $exit
        #cd (snort_sources dir)
        #cd contrib
        #psql -U postgres snort < create_postgresql

        Now try to start snort.

See ya.

Alejandro
