Hi all, I'm running into a problem where I cannot get the OSSEC agent (2.5.1) to start due to the "Unable to start OSSEC (check config)" message on a 64-bit Win2k8 box. I tried modifying the registry as suggested here: http://groups.google.com/group/ossec-list/browse_thread/thread/8b14612d9f2af055
But still am unable to get it to run. I can launch from the command prompt using "ossec-agent.exe start" but I don't want to have to resort to this if there's a 'cleaner' solution. Has anybody run into this issue? Any suggestions? The weird thing is that after the initial install of the agent, I was able to start from the GUI without a problem. The agent stopped itself over the weekend after the "ERROR: attempted to use null string" error came up. I tried starting up the agent again this morning and that's when I encountered the "check config" error. Any ideas what to do? Also, what would have caused the null string issue? I was suspecting it might be the fact that rootcheck was still enabled so I disabled it. I'm running the agent from the command prompt currently so I guess we'll find out if it stays up or gives the null string error again. Thanks
