ADODB Error Message (Please help me finish my Snort install!)

Posted by jaesposito on March 10, 2005 05:57:27

All, Im so close in finishing this Snort installation without asking for help, but Ive finally hit a roadblock. Ive been following the instructions posted at: http://www.minckler.net/snort-acid/ to install Snort on my Windows 2003 box with MySQL. The only problem I have left is that Im getting the infamous "Error loading the DB Abstraction library: from "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\adodb\adodb.inc.php" error message. I am pointing to the correct directory, according to the instructions. The problem here is that the original ADODB is no longer accessible at http://php.weblogs.com/ . Therefore, I had to download the install the version from Sourceforge. However, the Sourceforge installation didnt include a 'adodb.inc.php' file, which is probably where Im going wrong. Can somebody help me out with this one? I know Im REALLY close, but have Googled and websearched with NO resolution on this one. Thank you so much!

The version on Sourceforge does contain this file, try again: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/adodb/adodb461.zip?download.

Thanks! That fixed that error.

Now, when I go to the http://localhost/acid/index.html webpage, I can the default ACID webpage. However, when I try to click and open any of the other pages, I get a "No input file specified" error. As well, when I attempt to go "Back" to the default webpage, I also get the "No input file specified" error.

I think Im really close but am stuck again! I would greatly appreciate your help!

The "No input file specified" is a PHP error. The index.html file is just plain HTML, but all of the other ACID pages are written in PHP. I poked around a bit on Google, and found this same error discussed on http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25047. They recommend setting cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 in your php.ini, and not using --enable-discard-path.

Hope this helps!
