MySql and Snort

[Cilin <cilin5 () yahoo com>]

Hi, I am newbie to snort and also have the problem of
Snort not logging into the MySql database. I did the
following steps, as recommended in one of the earlier
emails but nothing helped.

1.  Created the database snort in MySQL with
appropriate permissions for users and hosts.
2.  Ran the script contrib/create_mysql in the snort
source code against the database as a user with the
correct permissions.
3.   Uncommented and supplied user, password, database
and host for the output database line for mysql in the
snort.conf file.
4.   Restarted Snort.

and still nothing
Snort does log the scans (scan.log gets updated every
time i run a scan over the network)
However i haven't gotten a single error yet.
(alert.ids is 0Kb)

when i run snort from the command line via 
"snort -v -i 1" I get:

0 dropped packages

Action stats:
Alerts: 0
Logs  : 0
Passed: 0

Wireless Stats, Fragmentation Stats, TCP Stream
Reasembly stats have ONLY '0's.

Please help, i have searched the internet and the
forums for any clues for the past 2 weeks but didn't
find anything.
