I'm trying to update ossec machines setup as servers from 2.6 and 2.7 to 2.7.1.

I download the ossec-hids-2.7.1.tar.gz, extract it, and run the ./install.sh. It recognizes there's a previous version, asks me if I want to update, then asks me if I want to update the rules. I say yes to both and it compiles everything and appears to successfully update. The new version of ossec is created in this directory, but it isn't being written to /var/ossec. /var/ossec/bin/ossec-agentd -V still shows the old version.

This is working fine on ossec machines setup as agents. Seems fairly straightforward. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas?

Its not working on Ubuntu 12.04 or CentOS 6.5

I'll dump in what I'm seeing here: (i deleted some compiling in the middle b/c i ran out of characters in the post)

  • Did you restart the service? Commented Dec 13, 2013 at 5:00
  • Yes. service ossec restart. Also, the /var/ossec/bin/ files are different from the newly compiled ossec-hids-2.7.1/bin/ files. They don't appear to be getting moved after creation to the default ossec directory, /var/ossec/
