I recently tried to upgrade a working snort-2.2.0/mysql/acid installation to a snort-2.3.0/mysql/base installation. mysql version was 4.0.21 I moved the previous snort install, config files, etc and compiled the new snort version by typing: # ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql # make # make install It worked, and the configure script said: ... checking for mysql... yes ... I then tried to run snort by typing: # /usr/local/bin/snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -i eth0 -g snort I got this error message: ------------------------------------ database: configured to use mysql database: 'mysql' support is not compiled into this build of snort 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. Fatal Error, Quitting.. ---------------------------------- This sucked, so I moved /usr/local/mysql and mysql config files, etc. and recompiled & installed a brand new mysql instance of 4.0.21 Same thing - same error message. I'm compiling the latest stable mysql to go with latest stable snort, but while it's running I figured I would post here. Any tips or hints would be apprciated. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage.
