Re: [ossec-list] Error when running "manage_agents" command

[Devendra Agrawal]

I chose /opt/ossec as install directory. Why would it expect /var/ 
ossec when there is no / var/ossec on this machine. Should try re- 
install? If yes, plz let me know of unistall steps

Thanks,
Devendra

You installed the binaries in the wrong location?
When install.sh was run originally, was /opt/ossec entered as the  
location you'd like ossec to be installed in?
The error message is pretty clear. the program expects to live in / 
var/ossec, but can't.
