RE: Snort 1.9 as Service Help

["Michael Steele" <michaels () silicondefense com>]

Scott,

The 1067 error, means an MySQL server aborted.

The cause should be:

- Missed (dropped) or corrupted MySQL grant tables.
- Wrong variable(s) on the configuration file (my.ini\my.cnf)

Michael,

I'm also having a similar issue only on a WinXP box. Here's the list:
Snort 1.9 (logging to mysql db)
MySql 3.23.52
ACID v0.9.6b21
Adodb 2.31
Apache 1.3.27
WinXP

D:\Snort19>snort /service /install -devyXoaw -c d:\snort19\snort.conf -l
d:\snort19\logs -i1
 [SNORT_SERVICE] Attempting to install the Snort service.
 [SNORT_SERVICE] The full path to the Snort binary appears to be:
    D:\Snort19\snort /SERVICE
 [SNORT_SERVICE] Successfully added registry keys to:
    \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Snort\
 [SNORT_SERVICE] Successfully added the Snort service to the Services
database.

D:\Snort19>net start snort
The Snort service is starting.
The Snort service could not be started.
A system error has occurred.
System error 1067 has occurred.
The process terminated unexpectedly.


I can fire up snort fine from the command line with the exact same
options
(sans the /service /install) and it works fine. However, when I install
it
as a service and try to start it, I get the System Error 1067. There
isn't
much showing up in the Event Log either.

Any advice you (or anyone else) can provide would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!

Scott

Bill,

I have walked more people through this procedure then I can count. It's
not uncommon to have this problem. Be sure you are in the same folder as
snort when you execute the commands. Does the command line work from the
shell? After you execute the service install have you tried "net start
snort" from the command line. If you got no error check the Task Manager
to see if Snort is listed as a running process.
