Hi I'm trying to set OSSEC up as "local" on a VPS hosted by Dreamhost (running the Debian 6.0, Linux kernal release 3.1.9-vs2.3.2.5). I've done this twice before using older versions of OSSEC without difficulty.
When running the register_rule.sh script, the installer dies with a permission error. I tried to change the permissions and made the register_rule.sh file 777 with no luck. I'm executing the script as root (using sudo su). I've reproduced the onscreen display starting from just before the point it dies. make[3]: Leaving directory > `/tmp/ossec-hids-2.6/src/analysisd/decoders/plugins' > gcc -g -Wall -I../../ -I../../headers -DDEFAULTDIR=\"/var/ossec\" -DLOCAL > -DUSE_OPENSSL -DUSEINOTIFY -DARGV0=\"ossec-analysisd\" -DXML_VAR=\"var\" > -DOSSECHIDS -I../ -c *.c > ar cru decoders.a *.o plugins/*.o > ranlib decoders.a > make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/ossec-hids-2.6/src/analysisd/decoders' > cd ./compiled_rules; make; > make[2]: Entering directory > `/tmp/ossec-hids-2.6/src/analysisd/compiled_rules' > ./register_rule.sh build > make[2]: execvp: ./register_rule.sh: Permission denied > make[2]: *** [plugins] Error 127 > make[2]: Leaving directory > `/tmp/ossec-hids-2.6/src/analysisd/compiled_rules' > make[1]: *** [logaudit] Error 2 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/ossec-hids-2.6/src/analysisd' > Error Making analysisd > make: *** [all] Error 1 > Error 0x5. > Building error. Unable to finish the installation. Any thoughts on how I might fix this? Thanks!
