RE: ACID Error: Error (p) connecting to DB

Paul,

 

Have you configured your acid_conf.php file, and does it reflect your
configuration?

Subject: [Snort-users] ACID Error: Error (p) connecting to DB

 

Hi,

I get the following error when I attempted to access the ACID Console
(https://localhost/acid/index.html) for the first time:

 

 

Warning: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by
server. Consider upgrading MySQL client in
/var/www/html/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 229

Error (p)connecting to DB : snort@localhost:3306 

Check the DB connection variables in acid_conf.php 

               = $alert_dbname   : MySQL database name where the alerts are
stored 
               = $alert_host     : host where the database is stored
               = $alert_port     : port where the database is stored
               = $alert_user     : username into the database
               = $alert_password : password for the username
              

Database ERROR:Client does not support authentication protocol requested by
server. Consider upgrading MySQL client

I can connect to the snort db locally within mysql, however, not from ACID.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated?

 

Thanks,

 

Paul
