Another "snort wont install in 2.0 thread"
-
I had snort installed before. However like everyone else the install would fail. After some searching here on the forum i found THIS thread: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,31058.0.html
That worked the first time.
I then updated last night and snort looked like it was uninstalled. When I goto reinstall it, it fails again when it tries to fetch SQL. I try again to enter the code in the thread I linked but it says SQL is already installed.
I think i probably have to uninstall the SQL package and reinstall it manually again. I am very unfamilar with the commands on how to do this.
Any help?
Furthermore… to help out with the cause here for 2.0 is there anything I should send out, error logs, junk like that, and who to send them to?? Sorry as my post count indicates I'm n00b!

i subscribed to the thread for immediate response.

if you see errors in your logs, post them to the 2.0 board here.
as for Snort, the maintainer apparently hasn't done much/any testing with 2.0 yet, but he should see your post here.

Do you know the command to remove the SQL install?
-
- Do you know which MySQL-client you need to install?
- If you have the version you want to uninstall, then go into a shell and use the pkg_delete command
Reference user sws on http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,30833.0.html
You can type this in your command line directly then initiate the package installation again from the web interface:
pkg_add http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/mysql-client-5.1.53.tbz
This will automatically install mysql-client-5.1.53 and any of it s requirements.
If it said that mysql-client-5.1.52 already installed then remove the mysql-client-5.1.52
pkg_delete mysql-client-5.1.52
and remove also what is using it then install the mysql-client-5.1.53
then install the packages you just removed again, if it needs mysql-client-5.1.52 I think it will also function with mysql-client-5.1.53. -
the thread i reference ealier had me install 5.1.53 so ill try that
command: pkg_delete mysql-client5.1.53
ill do this later when im home. thanks.

Is there a way one of the developers/contributors/admins can change this in the package to cause less confusion for future users?
-
It says no such package installed when i try the commad : pkg_delete mysql-client-5.1.53
not to be confused with the command i wrote earlier in this thread that didnt include the "-" between "client" and "5.1.53"
Any ideas on how to uninstall this package?
