Hi

I have installed Ubuntu 8.0.4 a few days ago, and just followed up the howto, as you can find here:
http://http://howtoforge.com/intrusion-detection-with-snort-mysql-apache2-on-ubuntu-7.10-updated

However,, i am not able to go to the webinterface of base:
http://127.0.0.1/base-1.4.0/setup
when i go there i have to save an phtml file.

the tar-ball base-1.4.0 has been untarred in the /var/www-dir.

What is going wrong?

 

i made some progress

i used 127.0.1.1/base-1.4.0/setup
now i am in the interface.

Still a problem:
Access denied for user 'snort'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /usr/share/php/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 365
is what i get

Any suggestions?

 

Please set the correct database login credentials in /usr/share/php/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php.

 

thanks for the quick reply.
what i did is:

sudo gedit adodb-mysql.inc.php
now gedit opens, and i scrolled to line 365.

what i see is:


// returns true or false
function _connect($argHostname, $argUsername, $argPassword, $argDatabasename)
{
if (!empty($this->port)) $argHostname .= ":".$this->port;

if (ADODB_PHPVER >= 0x4300)
$this->_connectionID = mysql_connect($argHostname,$argUsername,$argPassword,
$this->forceNewConnect,$this->clientFlags);
else if (ADODB_PHPVER >= 0x4200)
$this->_connectionID = mysql_connect($argHostname,$argUsername,$argPassword,
$this->forceNewConnect);
else
$this->_connectionID = mysql_connect($argHostname,$argUsername,$argPassword);

if ($this->_connectionID === false) return false;
if ($argDatabasename) return $this->SelectDB($argDatabasename);
return true;
}

what do i have to change?
thanks

 

Did you put the right MySQL details into /etc/snort/snort.conf?

 

that was the solution. I have changed snort_password from the real password to the words
snort_password.

Now i can login
