a. A big warning needs to be added that deployment does not work. (building a package)
+
=known bugs=
 +
There are still some bugs in this RPM... Help us to fix them!
 +
==ipdiscover bug==
 +
===ipdiscover on SME===
 +
IpDiscover is not working on SME. Please use another agent to ipdiscover your networks at the moment.

c. cactus, did you revert more than you intended ?<br>
+
I've opened a [http://forums.ocsinventory-ng.org/viewtopic.php?pid=5684#p5684 thread] on OCS forum.
see http://wiki.contribs.org/index.php?title=OCS_Reports_and_GLPI&oldid=5868 <br>
  −
and the current fr version, there are manual references and OCS usage<br>
  −
I was going to remove the deployment section when i couldn't get it to work but it was all gone ;-)
      +
Let's hope the next version will come out soon!
 +
===ipdiscover-util.pl===
 +
This script used by the web interface do not seem to work too.

First thing to do is to change the password in this file...
 +
...
 +
my $dbhost = 'localhost';
 +
my $dbuser = 'ocs';
 +
my $dbpwd = 'ocs'; <==
 +
my $db = 'ocsweb';
 +
my $dbp = '3306';
 +
The password should be dynamical as this is a perl script. We need to use esmith::ConfigDB or something else to retrieve this value... I was unable to handle that.
    +
Also a problem, the script cannot be executed. I try to add script handler for .pl but it didn't worked... Not sure about how this is working, if someone can help, please do!

Stefen, I've added a few pics for GLPI. It's not very detailled but at least people will know how to sync GLPI with OCS.

Maybe we should add back IP discovery and deployment sections and make a warning box to warn people that ipdiscovery has not been tested yet and that deployment do not work right now. That's what I did in the French article (as I translated the modified article into French while you were reverting changes)
  −
As soon as I will find a fix for the download folder, I will build a new RPM.
      +
==www/ocs/install.php bugs==
 +
A problem was found in the default imported database. This ends with some ''alter'' errors. This can be fixed by refreshing the web page.

I took a look on ocsweb database with phpmyadmin before and after using install.php
   −
Hi again...
+
I noticed that a lot of tables' ''engine type'' were ''MyISAM'' and after using install.php their type was ''InnoDB''!
   −
I've made a new RPM with a few modifications. New RPM&SRPM can be found [http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/sgomez/inventory here] (as soon as mirors will sync)
+
So I tried to export a new database (this time with extended parameters), but this new database don't import in ocsweb database: it ends with errors trying to create the 1st table!
*index.php was fixed by adding the following line to fix the location of the download folder:
  −
$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]="/opt/inventory/ocs";
  −
*ocsagent.exe was added to ./ocs/files/ (found this info in ''guide.pdf'')
     −
*Apache template was modified to allow upload. I don't know if the 1st modification is useful:
+
Help needed!
Alias /download /opt/inventory/ocs/download
  −
...
  −
php_admin_value open_basedir /opt/inventory/ocs:/tmp

yes the howto should warn deploy and ipdiscover don't work yet

=wiki page=

thanks for the new rpm, deploy > build now works (uploads to downloads)
     −
deploy > activate fails, currently you can't see www/download, you need to edit the httpd fragment. eg.
  −
Alias /download /opt/inventory/ocs/download
  −
<Directory /opt/inventory/ocs/download>
  −
    Options None
  −
    Options +Indexes
  −
    Options +Includes
  −
    AllowOverride None
  −
    order deny,allow
  −
    deny from all
  −
    allow from 127.0.0.1 192.168.35.0/255.255.255.0
  −
  php_admin_value open_basedir /opt/inventory/ocs:/tmp
  −
</Directory>
     −
now you can see it but activate still fails !@#$
+
==5.3.2 Deployment menu==
    +
there must be a lot of ways this could be used,
 +
why make everyone think of them themselves when it could be spelled out
   −
[[User:Snoble|Snoble]] 01:21, 5 November 2007 (MST)
+
this could be a new page, [[:Application deployment]]
   −
I also get stuck when I try to activate a package: I'm getting warnings about information files and fragments not being present at https://myserver/download/123456789 and at http://myserver/download/123456789
+
this could include other ways to deploy, eg using netlogon.bat
   −
Of course files and fragments are at the good place and reachable...
+
others can work on this cool34000 has done enough
   −
This is really weird because according to the '''guide.pdf''', files can be placed on any https capable apache server in ./download/123456789 and accessible at https://fileserver/download/123456789
+

Here's the way I've always used OCS... First I import the standard ''ocsagent.exe'' in MySQL.
   −
I get a 403 error page at http://myserver/download but if I put an empty index.html file inside the folder and I can see now a blank page at http://myserver/download
+
I don't like to install a service when it's not needed, so I use the standalone executable. I also don't use OCS deployment feature (I'm using GPOs for that)
   −
So this folder is now reachable for sure with your fixes...
+
It is so fast to use against the need of installing the Agent: put OcsLogon.exe in a share folder and simply launch it with a one command line batch script each time a session is opened.
 +
@echo off
 +
\\server\share\mydomain.com.exe /np /debug /tag:my_tag
 +
That's all!
    +
Of course, more can be done...
   −
There is also this section about "https certificate" in '''guide.pdf''' at ''sections 8.2 & 8.8.1''. I didn't create the needed '''cacert.pem''' file, did you?
+
*Install the Agent silently in a script
 +
*Use GPOs (deploy, install, update)
 +
*Create your own ''ocsagent.exe''
 +
People need to read the guide! It's well documented.
    +
If someone can take some time to document that, it would be nice!

I've successfully tested ipdiscover. As I only have 3 computers for testings, I forced ipdiscover on 2 computer and they discovered my router and my Wifi AP :-)
+
==glpi==
   −
I've added back stephen's improvements (ocs ng setions)
+
someone who uses this may like to add some more information on how to  use it, some link to more docs at least
