Barnyard2 2.1.13 MySQL not connecting

[jdpadro]

I added the following line for sending alerts to a remote SQL server.

output database: log, mysql, user=snort dbname=nwsnort sensor_name=lrc-eno2 password=xxxxxxxxx host=x.x.x.43

output database: alert, mysql, user=snort dbname=nwsnort sensor_name=lrc-eno2 password=xxxxxxxxx host=x.x.x.43

Once I restart the service, I look a the log file and I see the following.

Here is what I see within the barnyard2.log file.
INFO database: Defaulting Reconnect/Transaction Error limit to 10
INFO database: Defaulting Reconnect sleep time to 5 second
INFO database: Defaulting Reconnect/Transaction Error limit to 10
INFO database: Defaulting Reconnect sleep time to 5 second

What may be the problem. I can connect to the remote MySQL server via the CLI and am able to connect. I can connect to the database and am able to sho w tables.

Any ideas???

Thank you
