Re: [Snort-users] regarding SNORT

[Nick Moore <nmoore () sourcefire com>]

Jagan,

1. The error refers to the system's inability to find the create_mysql file
in the ./schemas directory. You may be in the wrong directory when you
executed the command or you may not have the same directory structure as
the author of the document. An easy solution would be to find the
create_mysql file (find / -name create_mysql) and then use the explicit
path in the mysql command.

2. I'm not that skilled as a database administrator, but generally use the
"grant" command within a mysql environment (mysql -p). My command looks
like this: grant all privileges on snort.* to snort@localhost with grant
option;

> From what I can see in your commands you have tried, the document you are
using is not mine. You can download mine and try that approach - most of it
will work for Ubuntu/Debian even though it was written for Fedora/CentOS -
the web server stuff and how the supporting files are downloaded/updated
are different, but the Snort stuff is largely the same. Alternatively, you
can write the author of that document directly.

3. You should include the Snort users list on your replies. It will get you
responses faster and may benefit someone else.

Happy Snorting!

Nick
