Topic: Is it installed or not??

[Mark Baker]

I am trying to install Snort and Acid per http://www.star-support.com/downloads/mitel/contrib/snort/acid-howto.htm

Here is where I currently am.  What is the deal?

[root@gateway StarSupport]# rpm -q ari-mitel-acid-1.0-11.noarch.rpm
package ari-mitel-acid-1.0-11.noarch.rpm is not installed
[root@gateway StarSupport]# rpm -i ari-mitel-acid-1.0-11.noarch.rpm
package ari-mitel-acid-1.0-11 is already installed
[root@gateway StarSupport]#


Thanks people,

Oaky, I did a rpm -U --force ari-mitel-acid-1.0-11.noarch.rpm

Now when going to the web path, I get
Warning: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /opt/administration/acid/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 115


Error (p)connecting to DB : snort_log@localhost

Check the DB connection variables in acid_conf.php

rpm -q takes a package name, not a filename. Lose the ".noarch.rpm"
from that command and I suspect you will find that it is already installed.

I can connect to the snort_log database from the console, so what is going on?  I also made sure that the snort_conf.php had the correct password.

Any help would be appreciated

Just to complicate things, Snort will not start.

[root@gateway init.d]# ./snortd status
snort is stopped
[root@gateway init.d]# ./snortd start
Starting snort:                                            [   OK   ]
[root@gateway init.d]# ./snortd status
snort is stopped
