Re: troubleshooting Snort on Windows 2000

[Matthew Williams <williams () mackinfo com>]

Sounds like the default socket location that php expects to use
to connect to mysql is not correct.  

'mysqladmin variables' will list the socket location that mysql
is using.  Confirm that it agrees with the socket specified
in the php3.ini file.  Alternatively you can specify the socket
in the php call; in my case, we use 

        mysql_pconnect("localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock","nobody");

I haven't used ACID, but this fixed the same problem on another 
application last night ;)
