!!! Important info if you think possible in future
Configure Mysql
User -root
Pasword-(password defined due to Mysql instalation for root)
Name of datbase-ocsweb
DatabaseHost-localhost
sudo rm /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/install.php
SQL shell
sudo mysql -u root -p ocsweb
SET PASSWORD FOR 'ocs'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('YOURPASSWORD');
SET PASSWORD FOR 'ocs'@'%' = PASSWORD('YOURPASSWORD');
exit
You can edit those files using mc or vim
vim /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/dbconfig.inc.php
{
define("PSWD_BASE","YOURPASSWORD");
}
vim /etc/apache2/conf-available/z-ocsinventory-server.conf
{
PerlSetVar OCS_DB_PWD YOURPASSWORD
In <Location /ocsplugins> Comment lines :
Require local
SetHandler perl-script
****For lazy people or new on Linux I suggest installing mc instead of vim for editing files, it is also good file manager
sudo apt-get install mc
Change Options>Config>UseInternalEditor>save
sudo mc (find file and use F4 for edit, F2 for save file) }
Connecting Agents
Agents must be installed with version < or = OCSserver version, for example for XAMPP on Windows OCSserver2.2 must use Agent 2.1.1.1
For presented in this Tutorial Linux OCSserver 2.5 must use Agent 2.3.1.1(is highest aviable at the moment) or below.
Installation of Agents on windows I use default settings, just uncheck field Validate certificates, Of course if choose it to be checked must generate certificate on OCSserwer and place it to a Agent config Folder (on windows 10 it is C:\ProgramData\OCS Inventory NG)
