I installed ASL last week however when I was traveling in encountered some problems so did an uninstall of ASL now I'm trying to get it back onto my system when I run the installer I get the following message

Starting ossec-hids: 2012/02/28 11:31:43 ossec-maild: INFO: E-Mail notification disabled. Clean Exit.
2012/02/28 11:31:43 ossec-logcollector(1905): INFO: No file configured to monitor.

/var/ossec/bin/ossec-control: line 218: 12650 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ${DIR}/bin/${i} ${DEBUG_CLI}
[FAILED]


I have ran acl -c and database setup and it allows me to connect to the database successfully however I can not get ASL reinstalled onto my system

Can you post the entire install routine, you may have an error earlier in the process thats causing this.

I have been struggling with the rules as well for mod security. I created the directories and set the appropriate permissions but it keeps saying permission denied for msa although nobody has read/write access

Thats probably what the source of the problem is then. Creating the directories & trying to set the permissions outside of the installer would probably break it. Especially if you play around with file system settings like noexec or nosetuid. Try removing all those and running the installer again
