----- Original Message ----- From: "shadow man" <sp33di3 () hotmail com>i think your easiest way to do this would be to mv the old snort directory and then tar/gunzip the new source code and from the new source directory issue the "./configure --with-mysql" and "make" and "make install". once you get all of that in place, copy all of your old rules files into the new source/rules directory and what i usually do is cut and paste the essential parts of my old snort.conf file into the new one, or in this case, i just cut and paste the http_inspect sections into my old file and commented out the old http preprocessor section (as this does not work with the new build), also cut and paste the new portsscan section if you wish to use that from the new source.To: <snort-users () lists sourceforge net> Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 3:27 PM Subject: [Snort-users] Upgrade to 2.1.0 help neededTrying to upgrade a working snort 2.0.0 on RH9 to 2.1.0 isn't going sowell.downloaded 2.1.0 renamed /etc/snort /etc/old-snort recreated /etc/snort whereis mysql mysql: /usr/local/mysql ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql make make install fixed up the snort.conf using the details from my old snort.conf.Includingthe database connection string. restart and snort isn't running so I tried this snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf and get this<snipped>database: compiled support for ( ) database: configured to use mysql database: 'mysql' support is not compiled into this build of snort ERROR: If this build of snort was obtained as a binary distribution (e.g., rpm, or Windows), then check for alternate builds that contains the necessary 'mysql' support. If this build of snort was compiled by you, then re-run the the ./configure script using the '--with-mysql' switch. For non-standard installations of a database, the '--with-mysql=DIR' syntax may need to be used to specify the base directory of the DBinstall.See the database documentation for cursory details (doc/README.database). and the URL to the most recent database plugin documentation. Fatal Error, Quitting.. I've tried this a few times with no luck. Suggestions please?It's not a matter of where the mysql binary is but where the mysql source files are. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
