Hi everyone- I'm having trouble with my Snort installation I was hoping somebody might help me. I just completed my Snort installation on Redhat 9.0. I have Snort (version 2.0.2), Apache, PHP, MYSQL and ACID installed. This is on a test machine so I have it connected to a cable modem. Everything seems to be working correctly until I access ACID using a browser. The ACID page comes up ok but there is no output (its not logging anything). I tried running a few scanners to see if Snort would detect the scanning and nothing. I did find an error in my /var/log/messages. When Snort starts up it comes up ok but then gets an error. Here is an output of the error: Mar 21 18:02:20 wsip-**-***-***-*** snort: database: 'mysql' support is not compiled into this build of snort Mar 21 18:02:20 wsip-**-***-***-*** snort: FATAL ERROR: If this build of snort was obtained as a binary distribution (e.g., rpm, or Windows), then check for alternate builds that contains the necessary 'mysql' support. If this build of snort was compiled by you, then re-run the the ./configure script using the '--with-mysql' switch. For non-standard installations of a database, the '--with-mysql=DIR' syntax may need to be used to specify the base directory of the DB install. See the database documentation for cursory details (doc/README.database). and the URL to the most recent database plugin documentation. I know when I installed Snort I used the -with-mysql switch. According to the installation documentation here is what I used: ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql make make install Would this error cause Snort not to output anything? Have I missed something? Thank you in advance! Alan Nguyenchan Information Technology Specialist II San Diego CCC
