I had installed snort 2.8.3.1 on suse 10.3 and I think that it runs with succes; cuz when I hit the following comand "etc/init.d/snort -v" it displays the behaviour of my network; like this:

***********************************************************************************************

But my problem is that I can't log in within snort session and I think that snort doesn't write on data bases like it should do it.
I have used the folowing doc:

http://www.snort.org/docs/setup_guides/Snort_Installation_SUSE-10.0.pdf

to realise my snort instalation until that I feel that is a data bases writing problrem.

I add that in the snort.conf wich is a etc/snort/ dyrectory I have mensioned that my snort will write on dbname=snort
and this base exist cus when I consult it on :
http://localhost/base It mensions its champs.
and iven when I consult it on :
http://localhost/phpMyAdmin
I find this data base wich is snort and its champs.
