Problems starting Snort 1.9.0 on RH 8.0

["Sawall, Christopher L" <CSawall () ameren com>]

I am having trouble getting Snort to start.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated. 

Config:
RedHat 8.0
Snort 1.9.0
MySQL 3.23.53a

I created a user with all the rights to try and make sure that it would
work:
mysql -u root -p{password} snort
mysql> grant CREATE,INSERT,SELECT,DELETE,UPDATE on snort.* to
snort@localhost;

I checked the database and made sure that the "sensor" table exists.

I try to start Snort:
/etc/snort# snort -d -c ./snort.conf

The following is the error I am receiving:

SQL=INSERT INTO sensor (hostname, interface, detail, encoding, last_cid)

database: Problem obtaining SENSOR ID (sid) from snort->sensor

 When this plugin starts, a SELECT query is run to find the sensor id for
the
 currently running sensor. If the sensor id is not found, the plugin will
run
 an INSERT query to insert the proper data and generate a new sensor id.
Then a
 SELECT query is run to get the newly allocated sensor id. If that fails
then
 this error message is generated.

 Some possible causes for this error are:
  * the user does not have proper INSERT or SELECT privileges
  * the sensor table does not exist

 If you are _absolutely_ certain that you have the proper privileges set and
 that your database structure is built properly please let me know if you
 continue to get this error. You can contact me at (roman () danyliw com).

Fatal Error, Quitting..

Thanks,
