Dear Luca, I had the exact same issue two weeks ago when I started using Snort. I asked around on every forum and mailing list related to MySQL and PHP and to my amazement no one had an answer to my problem. Anyway, after a few sleepless nights, one guy pointed out the culprit. Check out the permission on `/var/run/mysql'. If you get something like: $user> ls -la /var/run/mysql drwxrwx--- 2 mysql mysql 80 2005-08-24 22:09 ./ .... Then of course the directory is not world readable. `chmod 755 /var/run/mysql' so PHP be able to read it the socket file. Now, I do not know why you are trying to change the MySQL socket file path to be located inside your webserver root documet!!! On 9/8/05, Luca Losio <llosio () crema unimi it> wrote:
Hi, I'm using snort Version 2.1.2 (Build 25) on a OpenBSD 3.7 compiled with mysql support. I modified the /etc/my.cnf file for using a different mysql sock (/var/www/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock instead of var/run/mysql/mysql.sock) this why I want php scripts to connect to the mysql server. All the php scripts are working, mysql client is working correctly with this sock. Not snort. Snort complains it can't find the sock: FATAL ERROR: database: mysql_error: Can't connect to local MySQL server throughsocket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) I searched thru the snort.conf but I can't find this variable.. Please tell me the sock path isn't hardcoded into snort... Bye! P.s I know I can get snort working with this sock using a link, just wondering why snort want this particular sock :) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
