RE: Snort MySQL problem

[Neil Fryer <nfryer () marimba com>]

Hi,

All working now, thank you.
Here's what I did:

- Removed all snort files
- Untarred the tar.gz
- ./configure --with-mysql
- make
- make install
- modified the database connection properties in snort.con to use 127.0.0.1
instead of localhost
- /etc/init.d/snort start

And now it works :-)
Thank you again.

Kind Regards,
Neil Fryer

Hi,

I've had almost the same problem but with a SuSE box. Did you erased the old
files before reinstalling the new version?

Atentamente,
