[Snort-users] Snort not logging to database

I installed Snort 2.0.2, Apache 2.0.47, PHP 4.3.1, Mysql 4.0.12 and Acid=20
0.9.6b23 from source onto my linux box running Slackware 8.1 with kernel=20
2.4.18 following instructions in a Snort Installation Manual by Patrick=20
Harper. I had already been using earlier versions of Apache, PHP and Mys=
ql=20
on this box. The install went fine and all programs are operational but,=
=20
Snort is not logging to the database.=20
I have a firewall (Shorewall) masquerading for subnet 192.168.0.0/24 on p=
pp0=20
(a pppoe/dsl connection). Eth0 is my internal iface and Eth1 connects to =
the=20
modem. I noticed in the snort startup script that snort would initialize =
and=20
listen on eth0. Is that right? Or will the firewall drop packets before S=
nort=20
can see them?
I read the manual and searched archives but haven't solved the problem.

Excerpt from snort.conf
var HOME_NET 192.168.0.0/24
var EXTERNAL_NET any
output database: log, mysql, dbname=3Dsnort user=3Dsnortusr host=3Dlocalh=
ost /=20
password=3Dxyz
