Barnyard2 not writting to Mysql snorby DB

[Michael Green <Michael.Green () gbst com>]

Hi

I've just configured snort Version 2.9.2.3 in a test environment in preparation for upgrading my production server.

I have it configured for unified2 output and have barnyard2 configured to output to mysql:

##  /etc/snort/p1p1/barnyard2.conf
output database: log, mysql, user=xxx password=password dbname=snorby host=127.0.0.1 port=3306

My snort start command:
/usr/local/bin/snort -u snort -g snort -i p1p1 -c /etc/snort/p1p1/snort.conf -D

My barnyard2 start command:
/usr/local/bin/barnyard2 -c /etc/snort/p1p1/barnyard2.conf -u snort -g snort -d /var/log/snort/p1p1 -f snort.log -w 
/var/log/snort/p1p1/waldo -D

Snort is alerting:
New-ids 13:37:02 /var/log/snort/p1p1
root # ls -la /var/log/snort/p1p1
total 24
drwxr-xr-x. 2 snort snort 4096 Jun  5 11:05 .
drwxr-xr-x. 3 snort snort 4096 Jun  1 14:34 ..
-rw-------. 1 snort snort   96 Jun  5 10:18 snort.log.1338854746
-rw-------. 1 snort snort 8011 Jun  5 12:43 snort.log.1338857440
-rw-r--r--. 1 snort snort 2056 Jun  5 12:43 waldo

And Barnyard2 is seeing the alerts. Relevant section from /var/log/messages follows:
Jun  5 11:14:30 New-ids barnyard2[1995]: database: using the "log" facility
Jun  5 11:14:30 New-ids barnyard2[1995]:

Jun  5 11:14:30 New-ids barnyard2[1995]: Barnyard2 initialization completed successfully (pid=1995)
Jun  5 11:14:30 New-ids barnyard2[1995]: Using waldo file '/var/log/snort/p1p1/waldo':#012
      spool directory = /var/log/snort/p1p1#012
      spool filebase  = snort.log#012
      time_stamp      = 1338857440#012
      record_idx      = 0
Jun  5 11:14:30 New-ids barnyard2[1995]: Opened spool file '/var/log/snort/p1p1/snort.log.1338857440'
Jun  5 11:14:30 New-ids barnyard2[1995]: Waiting for new data

But nothing is being written to my mysql snorby DB?

I can log into mysql using the required credentials
mysql -u xxx -p snorby

but nothing is written.
mysql> select * from event;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

I'm now lost, and would appreciate some guidance. What should I do next?

Regards,

Michael
