["Master Brian" <mangabbs () hotmail com>]

Greetings :)

I'm new of this list and to snort. I've used it for 3 month on a linux box and I found it very usefull. 
Now I want to migrate my snort/database from mysql (on local linux box) to another computer running oracle. 

I've read the faq and the docs. 

I've created a "snort" user, created the table with "create_oracle.sql" and changed my /etc/snort.conf from:

output database: log, mysql, user=snort password=mypassword dbname=snort host=localhost

to

output database: log, oracle, user=snort password=mypassword dbname=snort host=ip_of_oracle_server encoding=ascii 
detail=full

BUT, when I try yo restart snort I get OK but snort died immediatly... can someone help me to solve this problem pls?
Thx

P.s. sorry if this msg arrive twice :(
