Hi list
I am installing SNORT 2.4.5 to log into a MySQL-5.1 database. snort
logs are being stored fine into the db, but whe the system start
snort fails because of this: snort[396]: FATAL ERROR: database:
mysql_error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
this is the configuration line in the snort.conf file
output database: log, mysql, user=snortids password=PswIdS
dbname=snort host=localhost
when I changed the 'localhost' name to 127.0.0.1 I got the following
error
snort[401]: FATAL ERROR: database: mysql_error: Can't connect to
MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (61)
All of this happens at start time. After system started I start
snort manually and connect to mysql just fine.
It seems that snort start earlier than mysql. I want to start mysql
earlier than snort but I don´t know how.
Can some body help me?
I think you should take a look at rcorder(8).

I got mysql-server to start before snort
proxy# rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22.sh
/etc/rc.d/DAEMON
/etc/rc.d/LOGIN
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/snort
/etc/rc.d/ypxfrd
even though, I still have the same problem
snort[471]: FATAL ERROR: database: mysql_error: Can't connect to local
MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
Any thought?
I found out where the problem is. Like I said before, the thing is that
mysql must start prior to snort, but mysql have no enough time to
completely start. So I told this to my boss and then he told me to put a
delay into the snort start file, and I did so.
I added the command /sleep 60 /in the first line of the snort start file
and it worked just fine.
best regards!
