I'm trying to setup the OSSEC web UI on a fresh installation of OSSEC on Ubuntu 15.04 Server Edition. I setup the server with the default LAMP stack and OSSEC HIDS seems to have installed successfully. When I try to install the OSSEC Web UI, I follow all of the instructions without any errors, but when I try to go to server ip address: http://10.17.0.21/ossec-wui, I get a 404 error. Any help troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated!
(If I need to wipe the server and start fresh, I'm fine doing so, this is a new installation without any data or configs in it yet.)
Udpate Just a bit more information to follow up:
I'm pretty new to working with apache, so I might be screwing something very basic up. I followed the documentation found in the readme here: https://github.com/ossec/ossec-wui
It appears that it didn't actually configure apache to display the site. I have tried to manually setup the site's config file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/OSSEC-WUI.conf. I also setup a symbolic link to it in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/. Here's the contents of the OSSEC-WUI.conf file:
<VirtualHost OSSEC:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs/ossec-wui/
<directory /var/www/htdocs/ossec-wui/>

# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet
Update 2 After editing /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, I'm now getting a 403 Forbidden error, instead of a 404. Not sure if this is progress...
Thanks in advance for your help!
