output database: log, mysql, user=snorter password=***** dbname=snort host=localhost I shadowed out the password for my own safety. Is that how I am supposed to do it. If that errors where will I see the errors because I have looked at every log file I can find and no connection errors.

You need to tell snort to use the database. What is in your snort.conf and what is the command you are using to start it with?

Alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> !HOME_NET 21 (msg:" TCP ftp-data File Transfer";sid:1010;) I just made up the sid. I am still not understanding how this works I guess. It logs this all day long in the /var/log/snort/alert file. Is there something special I have to do to it to make it log into the mysql database? Do I have to be careful on the sid numbers I assign to rules? mysqld (pid 3086) is running... I can login with the snort user mysql -u snorter -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor.
