Hi Dan,
Sorry for posting this in the snort-users forum but I have been unable
to find any help anywhere else. I recently configured Snort and
Barnyard on a remote sensor. I would like to log the alerts to a
central MySQL server. I have configured everything correctly but when I
run Barnyard I get the following error:
Failed to connect to database (null):XXXXXXXX@(null)/(null): Can't
connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'
(2)
Fatal Error, Quitting..
Exiting
Any ideas? MySQL server is not installed/running on this remote sensor
and I would like it to not have MySQL server.
check your configuration for the remote database server, it seems to
be missing...
The libmysqlclient tries to reach the server via a local unix socket,
so it assumes that the database is running on localhost. The line
...@(null)/(null) says the same, there are no values set for the
remote database so one on localhost is assumed.
Best regards
Dirk
