So anything else that I've been missed about the installation ?
I've followed this instruction;
http://www.ossec.net/main/manual/wui-ubuntu/

compared with this instruction :
http://www.ossec.net/wiki/OSSECWUI:Install

but nothing happends...it still didn't work

I've checks the config files, I've check the file locations, permissions, and ownerships, and I cannot see why it is not loading correctly. If anyone that has experience with this has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

So please help me...

Cheers..

Check the permissions on /var/www/ossec-wui-0.3, and its associated contents. Make sure that www-data is able to access them.
