Description (Last modified by kindlund)

Good morning,

I am at the point of testing the honeyclient by starting up the Manager with a list of URL's.

I get the following error below when I attempt to run the manager. It appears as though it creates a new VMWARE image then soon after I get the following error output to the screen. 

perl /usr/bin/StartManager.pl --url_list urllist.txt
2007-08-03 11:03:49  WARN [HoneyClient::DB::db_exists] (/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/HoneyClient/DB.pm:1102) - Unable to connect to database: HoneyClient     DBI connect('database=HoneyClient;host=172.16.164.1;port=3306','honeyclient_user',...) failed: Can't connect to MySQL server on '172.16.164.1' (110) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/HoneyClient/DB.pm line 887

  • owner changed from knwang to mbriggs.
  • component changed from Unknown to HoneyClient::Manager.
  • severity changed from none to minor.

The problem is that the database capability is enabled, and you have not defined a proper mysql database to connect to. There are two fixes:

  1. If you plan to use the database (which is still under development):
    1. Ensure you have mysql installed and the daemon is running.
    2. Edit the HoneyClient::DB section in /etc/honeyclient.xml. Set the following Values:
      • host (database host adress)
      • user (database user name)
      • pass (password for this user)
      • dbname (database name)
    3. Run /bin/install_honeyclient_db.pl. (You will be prompted a few times).
  2. If you don't wish to use the database at this time, disable it:
    1. In the HoneyClient::DB section of /etc/honeyclient.xml set enable to 0.

thanks for the quick reply, it appears as though it is already set to 0 below is the snippet of vi /etc/honeyclient.xml

Hello,

Yes, I think I understand the issue that you're running into. Basically, even though you have the DB portion disabled, the Manager code still tries to connect to an existing database.

This is definitely a bug in our 0.9.8 code, and I'll be working on a patch shortly. Once it's ready, would you be willing to test the patch and let us know if it works?

Thanks,

— Darien

Hi again,

Okay, I think I have fixed this issue, but would appreciate it if you could download and test out the following patch file:

http://www.honeyclient.org/trac/attachment/ticket/68/68.patch?format=raw

1. Save the file as "68.patch".

2. Then, copy this file into your perl library directory, where Manager.pm sits.

3. Then, apply the patch using the following command:

patch -p2 < 68.patch

That should fix the Manager.pm file, and no longer give you these errors.

Please let me know if this works. In the meantime, I'll be re-rolling new packages (v0.9.9) for the fix.

Regards,

— Darien

Hello,

I've regression tested the patch and have incorporated it into v0.9.9 of the code. In order to upgrade, simply download the latest version of the HoneyClient-Manager package from:

http://honeyclient.mitre.org/HoneyClient-Manager.tar.gz

And install it. This should resolve the issue you mentioned.

Since I haven't heard back from you regarding the patch, I'll assume this issue has been resolved.

However, if it does not resolve this issue for you and you still run into the same issue, please re-open this ticket accordingly. If you run into a new issues, please submit new tickets — one per issue.

Thanks,

— Darien
