Mysql Error

Peter P — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:27:59 -0000

I hope you can help!

When running the setup script for the first time I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /usr/share/php/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 363

From Googling this error I have not found much, other than to make sure mysql is installed and running. I can telnet to the localhost on the mysql port. Netstat -a shows it is listing.

The mysql logs shows no connection attempts.

I am running the following:
base 1.4.4
mysql 5.0.5
libphp-adodb 5.05 (this is installed /usr/share/php

Thanks you very much

BASE with OSSEC

Keith Pachulski — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 19:11:23 -0000

I`m hoping someone here can help me with an issue I`m having with BASE and OSSEC. I have alerts from OSSEC going into BASE, but I`m unable to from original code archive OSSEC alerts.

After some tinkering and asking questions on the OSSEC forums one suggestoin was to change a line in the base_action.inc.php as follows:

original

$sql = "INSERT INTO data (sid,cid, data_payload) VALUES ";
$sql.= "($sid, $cid, '".$tmp_row[0]."')";

modified

$sql = "INSERT INTO data (sid,cid, data_payload) VALUES ";
$sql.= "($sid, $cid, '".mysql_real_escape_string($tmp_row[0])."')";

After making this change I was able to archive the OSSEC alerts via BASE, however. Since doing so I am now unable to view any alerts in the archive database. The test alert I tried archiving was copied from the snort database to the snort_archive database which I verified manually:

mysql> use snort;

Database changed
mysql> select * from data where cid=118815;

Using BASE then copied the alert from the snort database to the snort_archive database

qmagic function in base_qry_common.php

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2006 14:15:11 -0000

Hi,

I am today running BASE 1.1.2.
This works fine on my Linux box.
After upgrading to 1.2.4 I do get some problems.
I can log in the the application and get the first
status page.
But when I click on the alarms last 24 days or any
other link for displaying alarms. The following
message appears:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: qmaic()
in /www.htdocs/base/base_qry_common.php on line 602.

It is no change in owners/group rights of the files.
I have the correct versions described in the
prerequisites for BASE 1.2.4.

I have been through the setup procedyre/program and do
not get any error messages.

Any body else seen this problem ?

Thanks in advance.

How do I move my BASE from one machine to another?

Anonymous — Tue, 14 Mar 2006 16:31:07 -0000

I would like to keep the current settings in tact
and move my base installation from an older machine
to a newer more powerful machine. Can I just tar and
copy the /var/www directories and move them?

Database Error postgresql

countbase — Mon, 13 Mar 2006 16:00:57 -0000

Hi,

I keep getting this error:

Checking for DB abstraction lib in '/adodb/adodb.inc.php'
The underlying database ids@localhost appears to be
incomplete/invalid
Database ERROR:ERROR: syntax error at or near "`" at
character 18

SELECT ip_src FROM iphdr

It might be an older version. Only alert databases
created by Snort 1.7-beta0 or later are supported

I'm running OpenBSD 3.8 / Postgresql 8.1.3 / Snort 2.4.3

Maybe someone can help me, because I've looked
everywhere, but can't find anything about it.

Oh, it's probably in the base_main.php

Thanks,

Theo

Amazing Job!

Anonymous — Thu, 09 Mar 2006 07:30:30 -0000

You guys have really done an amazing job with this
project. I thought the Acid project was dead. Good
job on keeping it going! One thing though... you
guys have gotta promote this more... Alot of people
are still using acid. Knoppix, knoppix-std and a
quite a few other security distros are still
including Acid instead of Base. The only security
Distro I've seen that includes Base was NST. Try to
get something going on LinuxToday or LinuxWatch or
other Sites just so maybe you guys could get more
exposure and maybe more people can chip in. I don't
think I even saw you guys in Snort.org!!!

Anyways... Great Job and thanks!

Zubin.
