Hi list I am installing SNORT 2.4.5 to log into a MySQL-5.1 database. snort logs are being stored fine into the db, but whe the system start snort fails because of this: snort[396]: FATAL ERROR: database: mysql_error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) this is the configuration line in the snort.conf file output database: log, mysql, user=snortids password=PswIdS dbname=snort host=localhost when I changed the 'localhost' name to 127.0.0.1 I got the following error snort[401]: FATAL ERROR: database: mysql_error: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (61) All of this happens at start time. After system started I start snort manually and connect to mysql just fine. It seems that snort start earlier than mysql. I want to start mysql earlier than snort but I donīt know how. Can some body help me?
