sending logs to remote mysql database

Posted by davidcarvalho on May 04, 2005 07:45:57

Hi !I want to log snort alerts on a windows machine to a remote mysql server database. I already achieve this for linux machines.
It works fine for them.
On windows I keep getting an
"access denied from user snort@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX'.
I already granted privileges for this user at this machine
(exactly the same way I did for linux) and still it's the same.
With ethereal I get a mysql error code 1045 (access denied).
Do i need to install mysql (client) on windows ? It's the only thing that I can think off. I'ts not a firewall issue either.
Help apreciated !
thanks.

unbelievable !
Read the output database line so many times and i never saw the error.
It works fine just like in linux. it was a password error!!
snort (for windows) already comes with the mysql support.
