Release of ossec web ui (oswui) 0.1-beta

I just released the first beta version of oswui (ossec web ui). The code is very simple and does not require a database or anything special running in the server. Hopefully after this release some web programmers will join us to help improve it (I am not a gui person).Download it from here.

Installation instructions below:1.0 – Prerequisites

• -Apache with PHP (4.x or 5.x) installed.
• -OSSEC (version 0.9-3) already installed.

1.1 – Download the package (link)

1.2 – Uncompress/untar it and move the files to somewhere acessible by your web server

# tar -zxvf ossec-wui-0.1-BETA.tar.gz
# mv ossec-wui* /var/www/htdocs/ossec-wui

1.3 – Run the setup script

# cd /var/www/htdocs/ossec-wui
# ./setup.sh

1.4 – Add your web server user to the ossec group

# vi /etc/group
..
From:
ossec:x:1002:
To (if your web server user is www):
ossec:x:1002:www

1.5 – Fix the permissions for the tmp directory and restart Apache (for the new permissions to work)

# chmod 770 tmp/
# chgrp www tmp/
# apachectl restart

As the ossec-hids project, it is released under the GPL and donations are welcome.
