It's obvious that I've done something wrong, but was wondering if there was somewere I could look to find a few more clues as to why the connection to the database is failing?
You've created the database called "snort" and put the right parameters (host where postgres is, database to use, password, etc.) in your config file, haven't you? That's the only thing I can think of that brings that error :-m In case it helps, here's my output line for use with postgres: output database: log, postgresql, sensor_name=my_sensor user=my_user dbname=snortreport password=guess_it host=localhost (but only in one line, not two as I've put here) Also, maybe you've not configured postgres to listen to TCP/IP queries, or simply not configured the access to the database :-m Check your /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf file for the latter, and both this and /etc/postgresql/postgresql.conf for the former. I think I don't forget anything, but in case I do, just ask :-) -- Roberto Suarez Soto Alfa21 Outsourcing robe () alfa21 com http://www.alfa21.com _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
