Hello,

I was testing binary installations ,  as described here
http://www.ossec.net/doc/manual/installation/installation-binary.html
, and run into or a strange situation. When installed the binary to a
new target machine if I change the install directory to something
different than the original machine were the binary was built ,for
example select /opt/ossec instead of /var/ossec , the installation
does not work .

It tries to find and  run things under /var/ossec and not /opt/
ossec.

Trying to run manage agents for instance gives the following error :

manage_agents(1209): ERROR: Unable to chroot to directory: '/var/
ossec'.

and trying to run ossec-control :

ossec-execd(1226): ERROR: Error reading XML file '/var/ossec/etc/
ossec.conf': XMLERR: File '/var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf' not found. (line
0)

Anyone has run to this issue before ? I guess it is not a big deal
installing to /var/ossec but what if there is some restriction (space
or policy ) and we cant ?

Any ideas much appreciated !

Thank you !
