Database ERROR:Access denied for user 'snort'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

i want to use ACID(analysis console for intrusion databases) with XAMPP.
and the this message appear when i want to view the ACID web page.

what is the problem actually??
plez help me..

I don't know anything about ACID or how you have installed or set it up to use it with XAMPP for Windows.

Is Acid for Windows or a *nix OS?

Have you created a database for ACID?

?= $alert_dbname : MySQL database name where the alerts are stored
?= $alert_host : host where the database is stored
?= $alert_port : port where the database is stored
?= $alert_user : username into the database
?= $alert_password : password for the username

These ? need to have the details entered from when you created the ACID database - using phpMyAdmin perhaps.

For example they may look like this

snort= $alert_dbname : MySQL database name where the alerts are stored
localhost= $alert_host : host where the database is stored
3306= $alert_port : port where the database is stored
snort= $alert_user : username into the database
password for snort= $alert_password : password for the username

The documentation for Acid should explain the correct installation method using the "acid_db_setup.php" page and is really beyond the scope of this XAMPP forum.
Also Apache in XAMPP may not be able to access ACID if it is in a folder outside the \xampp\htdocs folder.
