RE: FATAL ERROR: database: mysql_error: Access denied for user: 'snor t@localhost' (Using password: YES)

Try logging directly into your MySQL database using the same credentials
located in your output database line.

 

Make SURE you have setup your user access properly in MySQL.

 

Is this on a stand alone sensor on in an enterprise setup?

Subject: [Snort-users] FATAL ERROR: database: mysql_error: Access denied for
user: 'snor t@localhost' (Using password: YES)

 

I have tried everything I can think of to fix this problem to no avail. Can
someone help me on this? I get this message when I try to run snort.

FATAL ERROR: database: mysql_error: Access denied for user:
'snort () ids remote starsatx com' (Using password: YES) 

and 

FATAL ERROR: database: mysql_error: Access denied for user:
'snort@localhost' (Using password: YES) 

 

 My conf is as follows: 

# Use one or more syslog facilities as arguments.  Win32 can also optionally
# specify a particular hostname/port.  Under Win32, the default hostname is
# '127.0.0.1', and the default port is 514. # # [Unix flavours should use
