Dear All,
I am MSC student and I am currently in the project phase (two weeks remaining) . My project requiring to install snort in windows and lucky I am that I found your website to do the installation in windows 2008 server standard. I followed all the steps mentioned in installing WINDS and when I reach the test barnyard2 by file by2-test.bat it return me error,
cannot connect to MySQL server on 'WINIDS' <111>
branyard2 exiting
database :closing connection to database "snort"
I am running out of time and I need also to configure snort/winids to get the update files from a file server/not from internet where this snort will communicate to that file server to get the update. Please if any body knows how to I will be grateful. Waiting your valuable support.
Regards and Thanks,
Ali Alhinai
