I'm running Snort 2.3 with MySQL and BASE 1.0.1, 


First, I would recommend upgrading to a newer version of BASE.  We are
at 1.1.4 and this has fixed a number of bugs from 1.0.1.


and it appears as though Snort is not picking up any alerts. 


This sounds like Snort is not running.


Just quit out of the blue one day a couple of weeks back, and I'm at a loss 
as to why. I can't figure out which piece stopped working.
 I don't see Snort in the ps -A list, 


This makes the my statement above seem correct.


but if I quit mysqld, I get a "Snort cannot connect to database" error in 
BASE.



BASE would not know if Snort can communicate with the DB.  I think the
error you are seeing is "Can not connect to the Snort database."  This
makes sense if mysqld is shut down.


Some pointers as to what to look for would be appreciated, thanks.



I would restart Snort and your problem should go away.
