Solved OSSEC-WUI installation problem

[fred974]

Hello everyone,

I have manged to successfully install security/ossec-hids-server on my FreeBSD host. I run my web server and database server inside a jail. When I tried to run the setup.sh for OSSEC-WUI in my webjail, it failed with the following:
admin@bsd /usr/local/www/ossec/public% ./setup.sh

Setting up ossec ui...

** ERROR: Could not find htpasswd. No password set.
Enter your web server user name (e.g. apache, www, nobody, www-data, ...)
www
sed: -i: No such file or directory

chmod: /usr/local/ossec-hids/tmp/: No such file or directory
chgrp: /usr/local/ossec-hids/tmp/: No such file or directory
You must restart your web server after this setup is done.

Setup failed to complete.

Is it not possible to run ossec-webui inside my jail? Has anyone got a quick how to?

Thank you all in advance.

Hi guys,

Just a tough...
If I set ossec to save the data into MySQL, Could I then install something like Analogi Web Dashboard to see the details?
From what I read on the ossec website the OSSE-WUI is no longer supported

Why does the OSSE-WUI appear to be dead?

Because it is. No one has worked on it for quite a while. There may be some ongoing work with it, but as of this writing it is considered a dead project.

Any help is really appreciated.

Thank you

I could really do with some more assistance with this problem if anybody has a clue as to where I went wrong.

Thank you.

Because it's dead. As fred974 already found out a year ago, http://ossec-docs.readthedocs.org/e....html#why-does-the-osse-wui-appear-to-be-dead

Keep in mind things on FreeBSD work as they are, if the project is dead there's not much we, as a FreeBSD community, can do about it. You can try and fix it yourself but that does assume you already know what to do with these messages.

Hi jemsanchez ..
No I didn't had any more time to play with it..
I was going to get ossec to save the data to mysql and then use Analogi Dashboard as web interface.
Here is the link to the tutorial I was following...

Let me know if you get it to work :;
