Hello,

I'm following the tutorial to install WinSnort on Windows 7 x64. I've reached the part "Configuring the MySQL Database Server". When I try creating the snort database it does not seem to take the command when I tap the 'Enter' key as shown below.

C:\Users\idsid>mysql -u root -pd1ngd0ng

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

mysql> create database snort
    -> create database archive
    -> show databases
    ->

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you.

The majority of MySQL commands end with a ;

Follow the tutorial carefully.
