Hi all has any one got snort working in ubuntu 8.10 the problem i have is installing the snort-mysql can any one tell me if there a work around for this problem

Thanks madman100

You're going to have to be more descriptive than that. ;) Have you tried following bodhi.zazen's tutorial? Exactly what error are you getting?

Hi Kinstonian thanks for the reply the problem is with the sonrt-mysql when i try too install it i get this error E: snort-mysql: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 6

Thanks madman100

I'm not sure, but I think that error is related to snort not finding the database for logging. Create the database and reinstall snort.

Thanks Sarmacid will try this later i for got to say i was using 8.10 64bit version if this makes any difference

Thanks madman100

Is this the problem you're experiencing?

hi guys manage to sort out the snort problem could not get the one in the synaptic package manager to work but i have got the tar.gz one to work fowling the Ubuntu Intrusion Detection tutorial every thing went fine up to the point of logging in to the browser page i have restart snort and added it to the schedule task manager to restart every 3hours but when logging in to base keep getting this Not Found

The requested URL /base was not found on this server. Apache/2.2.9 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.6-2ubuntu4 with Suhosin-Patch Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 80

Thanks madman100

Did you move the base directory to /var/www/base after untarring?

What's the output of ``` find / -name "base_main.php"

Hi Sarmacid for some reason could not get the 1.3.9 version to work downloaded the 1.4.1 version and untar to the /var/www as i done before and now that version is working

Thanks Madman100
