ERROR: Undefined variable name

Installed Snort on RedHat 9 along with Apache, SSL, PHP, MySQL and Acid per Patrick Harper's instructions from www.InternetSecurityGuru.com. Everything went smooth but after I completed the whole process, Acid would not display any alerts so I ran "snort ?c /etc/snort/snort.conf" to see what's causing the problem and the error that got displayed was: ERROR: Undefined variable name: (/etc/snort/snort.conf:458): Fatal Error, Quitting.. I went to snort.conf and on line 458 I have the following line that is there to log to MySQL database (it's the only one that's uncommented): output database: log, mysql, user=snort password=mypassword dbname=snort host=localhost Everything looks correct to me and for the life of me I can't figure out why snort is choking on it. Any ideas? Thanks, Dimitri
