Hello all I’m installing snort and using acid as a front end. The database is mysql. Everything is installed from ports. Mysql started normally until I added the “–-bind-address=127.0.0.1” directive to my mysql-server.sh script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/. Now the error I receive in the hostname.err log states: Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Can't assign requested address Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ? Aborting ps –ax dosen’t show a mysqld running netstat –an shows nothing listening on port 3306 I’ve tried changing the port number that mysqld uses to 3308 and 3310, but I still get the same error about a bind on the port. I think it has more to do with the address 127.0.0.1 than the port number. Is there as way to reset or release all the bindings on a specific address? My FreeBSD is 4.8 Snort-2.1.0 MySql – version 14.3 Distrib 5.0 for ports Acid-0.9.6b23 I’ve checked google and mysql faq’s, plus anything else I can think of. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance Ben bplimpton@sopris.net
