hey,

 thanks for the guide.

i closely completed my installation,except the last step:

Starting the Windows Intrusion Detection Systems (WinIDS) Security Console

when i  opened a web-browser and type 'http://winids' ", it shows DATABASE ERROR as bellow:

Error (p)connecting to DB : snort@winids

Check the DB connection variables in base_conf.php 
               = $alert_dbname   : MySQL database name where the alerts are stored 
               = $alert_host     : host where the database is stored
               = $alert_port     : port where the database is stored
               = $alert_user     : username into the database
               = $alert_password : password for the username
              

Database ERROR:Database connection failed
 

 

May somebody pls kindly give some support? thank u！

 

 

BTW, i had been changed as follow under the guide:

$alert_dbname   = 'snort';
$alert_host     = 'winids';
$alert_port     = '';
$alert_user     = 'base';
$alert_password = 'an@l1st';

after reboot, i got this error as attach

I had encounted  none of error during the whole installation ,except  FIVE WARNING in the step on " Creating the Windows Intrusion Detection System Database Tables  " ,after i typed the command:  \i d:/temp/snort_user.sql; "

  was that the ROOT REASON?  If so, how to solve? it not,how can i do?

 sorry for the CHINESE charactor, i had tried my best to translated......

    you can receive my best wishes from CHINA!

The above is normal. If you are getting a connection error than it's most likely related to user authentication, or possibly the database is not running?
