The MySQL client library is unable to find the domain socket through which it is suppose to communicate. The library expected it at /tmp/mysql.sock. Locate where mysqld is creating the mysql.sock and symlink from /tmp/mysql.sock to this file. shell> ln -s /path/to/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock Roman On Thu, 10 Jan 2002, Merrick, Gary wrote:
This is probably something really stupid, but I gotta ask anyway. Just installed ACID (9.6b19) and MySQL (3.23.36). Went through the installation instructions in Snort's readme.database, and the ACID installation instructions. I think I did everything right. When trying to run acid_main.php thru a browser, I'm getting the following error: Error (p)connecting to DB : snort@localhost:3306 Check the DB connection variables in acid_conf.php = $alert_dbname : MySQL database name where the alerts are stored = $alert_host : host where the database is stored = $alert_port : port where the database is stored = $alert_user : username into the database = $alert_password : password for the username Database ERROR:Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) Any idea what's wrong?
