Re: snort and mysql socket error

["John Creegan" <jcreegan () questarweb com>]

It looks to me like your instance of MySQL isn't running.

Hi,

I am new to using snort with mysql database.  I am trying to figure out
why 
I am getting this mysql socket error.  I have searched for mysql.socket
in 
/var/lib/mysql, but there isn't a mysql subdirectory in /var/lib
directory.  
Any help is much appreciated!
