If you want Snort to use the mysql database output plugin, then you will 
need the mysql libraries and client when you compile Snort on the sensor. 
What you are doing here appears to be the mysql setup. But if you are just 
trying to get snort compiled on a box, you do not need to compile the 
database, you just need the mysql files.

(Also note the the very first snort installation guide for redhat9, mysql, 
apache, php, acid refers to only using a single computer for everything).

Hi !!!

I steal am receiving:

 configure --without-server --prefix=/usr/local/mysql

NOTE: This is a MySQL binary distribution. It's ready to run, you don't

need to configure it!



To help you a bit, I am now going to create the needed MySQL databases

and start the MySQL server for you.  If you run into any trouble, please

consult the MySQL manual, that you can find in the Docs directory.



Installing all prepared tables



To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server

to the right place for your system



PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !

This is done with:

./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'

./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h sensor-Jr-lan password 'new-password'

See the manual for more instructions.



NOTE:  If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run

the ./bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be

able to use the new GRANT command!



You can start the MySQL daemon with:

cd . ; ./bin/mysqld_safe &



You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench'
directory:

cd sql-bench ; perl run-all-tests



Please report any problems with the ./bin/mysqlbug script!



The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at

http://www.mysql.com

Support MySQL by buying support/licenses at https://order.mysql.com

Starting the mysqld server.  You can test that it is up and running

with the command:

./bin/mysqladmin version

[root@sensor-Jr-lan mysql-standard-4.1.1-alpha-pc-linux-i686]# Starting
mysqld daemon with databases from
/snortinstall/mysql-standard-4.1.1-alpha-pc-linux-i686/data

040908 22:17:58  mysqld ended

I did exactliiy as in the menual in snort site sayd regarding:

Set MySQL to start automatically.
Copy the file "mysql.server" from the support-files subfolder (it is under
the source for
mysql. If you downloaded everything to /root/snortinstall, then the path
will be
/root/snortinstall/mysql-4.0.15a/support- files) to the /etc/init.d folder
and call it mysql
(the command to copy it from the support- files directory is "cp
mysql.server
/etc/init.d/mysql")
Use the following commands to create symbolic links in the startup folders
for run levels
3 and 5. MySQL will now start automatically when you boot up.
cd /etc/rc3.d
ln -s ../init.d/mysql S85mysql
ln -s ../init.d/mysql K85mysql
cd /etc/rc5.d
ln -s ../init.d/mysql S85mysql
ln -s ../init.d/mysql K85mysql
cd ../init.d
chmod 755 mysql



I restarted but mysql didn't started on this sensor...!!!

Acid and my sql server is installed on another management server.do I need
to install it on the this sensor (my sql client I mean..)

From RPM you can't for that version (that I know of)  the mysql site has
only binary tarballs and source tarballs.  Fedora itself is not up to
4.X for some strange licensing reason and is still shipping with 3.23.
you could always download and install the full source, the client
source, or what ever or use the RPM's

Hi,



I installed mysql on a fedora acting as a sensor as following:

(I downloaded mysql-standard-4.1.1-alpha-pc-linux-i686).



./configure --without-server --prefix=/usr/local/mysql

NOTE: This is a MySQL binary distribution. It's ready to run, you don't

need to configure it!



To help you a bit, I am now going to create the needed MySQL databases

and start the MySQL server for you.  If you run into any trouble, please

How I start it on boot time? I read that I need to "copy
support-files/mysql.server

to the right place for your system"  but what is the right place ? in
order to that this machine passes the sql to the main management server
( with acid) is it enough to just configure snort.conf or I need also to
configure something in the sql client on this client ?



please help !!



thanks !!
