Email using mysql

[Michael Aylor <maylor () swbanktx com>]

Hello, I'm having a problem with ACID sending an email of selected alerts.
The order of events I do to generate the error are as follows.

1.  Launch web browser (IE 5.01) and pull up the acid_main.php page (hosted
on Apache server version 1.3.19-5).
2.  Pull up a set of alerts I'm interested.  At the bottom of the page, I
use the drop down box to select "Email Alerts(s)" and in the corresponding
field, I type the email address I want to send it to.
3.  The webpage is refreshed, but with error messages.

Warning: 1 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in
/home/httpd/html/acid/acid_pkt_sqlcalls.php on line 83
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in
/home/httpd/html/acid/acid_pkt_sqlcalls.php on line 129
Warning: 1 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in
/home/httpd/html/acid/acid_pkt_main.php on line 507

However, I do get an email message sitting in my inbox, but it has no query
data on it.  All it says is 

 
Bottom of Form 0
ACID v0.9.5 ( by Roman Danyliw <mailto:roman () danyliw com> as part of the
AirCERT <http://www.cert.org/kb/aircert/> project )     

I set acid to debug mode=1 in the acid_conf.php page and it spit out a whole
bunch of stuff, the most interesting to me was the actual sql query it ran
against the snort database.  I'll include that here.

SQL: SELECT event.sid, event.cid, signature, timestamp, ip_src0, ip_src1,
ip_src2, ip_src3, ip_dst0, ip_dst1, ip_dst2, ip_dst3, ip_proto FROM event
LEFT JOIN iphdr ON event.sid=iphdr.sid AND event.cid=iphdr.cid WHERE
event.cid > 0 AND signature='BIND Shell' 

Just as a part of troubleshooting, I went ahead and used a mysql client to
enter that query in and it returned the expected data with no errors, so I
know the query is good.

I'm using  MySQL version 3.23.36-1.  Not sure what the problem is, but maybe
someone can help me.
