this part:
###BEGIN PASTE###
# database: log to a variety of databases
# ---------------------------------------
# See the README.database file for more information about configuring

# output database: log, mysql, user=snort password=secret dbname=snort
host=localhost
# output database: alert, postgresql, user=snort dbname=snort
# output database: log, unixodbc, user=snort dbname=snort
# output database: log, mssql, dbname=snort user=snort password=test
###END PASTE###

You havn't set snort to log to a database.

uncomment the appropriate line (hint: probably the first line) and
modify to match your DB.
