Re: BASE1.4.4 is not working properly

[Jun Wan <junwei_wan () hotmail com>]

Hi Kevin & Olli,

 

Many thanks for your help, I am new to Snort, for what I understand, I have to do the followings:

 

1.) upgrade BASE from 1.4.4 to 1.4.5 by following the instructions from a file called "UPGRADE" from 
base-1.4.5.tar.gz\base-1.4.5\docs:

     B. Upgrade from 1.x version of BASE

 

        To upgrade from a previous version of BASE, you will need to copy the

        configuration from your current base_conf.php to the example on provided

        as base_conf.php.dist. This is because of various changes needed for bug

        fixes.

 

2.) Apply the patch from Olli, it's called "patch_base_1.4.5_php5.3.txt"

 

3.) Additional for php5.3 the following diff should be applied (not included in attached patch)

--- ./base_graph_display.php.orig 2010-03-05 16:06:17.000000000 +0100
+++ ./base_graph_display.php 2010-04-11 23:52:13.000000000 +0200
@@ -114,7 +114,7 @@
else
{
// Create the graph area, legends on bottom -- Alejandro
- $Graph =& new Image_Graph(array('driver'=>'gd',
+ $Graph = new Image_Graph(array('driver'=>'gd',
'width'=>$width,
'height'=>$height));
}


 

Now I am having some difficulty to following the step 1.) ---to upgrade BASE from 1.4.4 to 1.4.5. 

 

Do I have to copy all the file from base-1.4.5.tar.gz\base-1.4.5 to the live BASE folder /var/www/base-1.4.4?  

 

As the description from  the "UPGRADE",  If I "copy the configuration from my current base_conf.php to the example on 
provided as base_conf.php.dist", which I belive is from base-1.4.5.tar.gz\base-1.4.5\, then what about the file" 
base_conf.php.dist" in the live BASE folder /var/www/base-1.4.4?

 

Basically I would like to have a bit more info regarding step 1.), which would help a lot for the "Snort Newbies" like 
me.

 

Any info and help would be much appreciated.

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Regards

 

John
