Re: Fatal error with BASE

["Michael Steele" <michaels () winsnort com>]

If I'm not mistaken; the current release of base (1.3.0) does hot require
ADODB to be installed.

Kindest regards,
Michael...

You have to install the prerequisite software:

- adodb (http://adodb.sourceforge.net/)
This one is easy, just unzip/untar the adodb files to your webroot

- mysql client
required to compile php with mysql support

- php with mysql support
I always compile php, so I compile it with --with-mysql=<mysql install
base>.  I've never used the loadable module you referenced.  Also, I
believe the php.ini file is for Windows.  php-pear can be used to load
various php modules, like gd, etc.

There are lots of tutorials that walk you through the process of setting
 up base:
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Snort-Statistics-HOWTO.html
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_BASE_with_Apache,_Snort,_and_PostgreSQL
http://www.howtoforge.com/intrusion_detection_base_snort
etc.
