It has been fixed. It was a typo on my part in the snort.conf. In the
output database section, I had quotes around the password.
Thanks to all.

Subject: mysql error
I am trying to install snort on a device. And when I run the snort -c
/etc/snort/snort.conf, I receive the ERROR: database: mysql_error:
Access denied for user 'snort'@'localhost' (using password: YES) Fatal
Error, Quitting..
I can log into mysql using the snort login. I have entered the
following commands:
grant INSERT,SELECT on root.* to snort@localhost; SET PASSWORD FOR
snort@localhost=PASSWORD('********');
grant CREATE,INSERT,SELECT,DELETE,UPDATE on snort.* to snort@localhost;
grant CREATE,INSERT,SELECT,DELETE,UPDATE on snort.* to snort;
I seem to recall that there was a way to clear permissions in mysql. But
I cannot remember the commands.
Any help would be appreciate.
