thanks for the new rpm, deploy > build now works (uploads to downloads)
+
=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.
   −
deploy > activate fails, currently you can't see www/download, you need to edit the httpd fragment. eg.
+
I've opened a [http://forums.ocsinventory-ng.org/viewtopic.php?pid=5684#p5684 thread] on OCS forum.
Alias /download /opt/inventory/ocs/download

now you can see it but activate still fails !@#$
+
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!

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
  −
  −
Of course files and fragments are at the good place and reachable...
  −
  −
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
  −
  −
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
  −
  −
So this folder is now reachable for sure with your fixes...
      +
==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.
   −
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?
+
I took a look on ocsweb database with phpmyadmin before and after using install.php
    +
I noticed that a lot of tables' ''engine type'' were ''MyISAM'' and after using install.php their type was ''InnoDB''!
   −
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 :-)
+
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!
 
  −
I've added back stephen's improvements (ocs ng setions)
      +
Help needed!

I've added force discover on the server, ran another inventory and it found nothing else
  −
the guide isn't very clear, if you can document this in a few steps it may help
  −
  −
i get the same error on deply > activate
  −
I haven't copy the certificate yet, I don't think that is needed until the next step of deploying to the PC

=> IPDiscovery doc added. Enjoy!
     −
By the way, I've made a quick list of needed Perl modules... I just gathered needed modules in OCS Server+Agent+IPDiscovery readmes. It should work on all SME versions:
+
=wiki page=
yum install perl'(Apache::DBI)'
  −
yum install perl'(Archive::Tar)'
  −
yum install perl'(Compress::Zlib)'
  −
yum install perl'(Crypt::OpenSSL::Bignum)'
  −
yum install perl'(Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA)'
  −
yum install perl'(DBI)'
  −
yum install perl'(DBD::Mysql)'
  −
yum install perl'(Digest::MD5)'
  −
yum install perl'(IO::Socket::SSL)'
  −
yum install perl'(IO::Zlib)'
  −
yum install perl'(Mail::DomainKeys)'
  −
yum install perl'(MIME::Lite)'
  −
yum install perl'(Net::IP)'
  −
yum install perl'(Net::Jabber)'
  −
yum install perl'(Net::SSLeay)'
  −
yum install perl'(Net::XMPP)'
  −
yum install perl'(SOAP::Lite)'
  −
yum install perl'(LWP)'
  −
yum install perl'(XML::Simple)'
  −
yum install perl'(XML::Stream)'
  −
Some RPMs are not in standard repos, I used DAG or extras to find them... A lot are already installed on SME 7.2, I don't know what will it be on previous SME 7.x versions... I've just installed a fresh new SME 7.2 with all updated and I had 8 perl modules to install. I will try from SME 7.1 without updates to see what happens.
        −
I found several threads talking about disabling SELinux to make OCS work.
  −
Do you know how to disable this for test purposes on SME?
      +
==5.3.2 Deployment menu==
   −
Cool34000
+
there must be a lot of ways this could be used,
----
+
why make everyone think of them themselves when it could be spelled out
   −
The IP Discovery help looks great, can't wait to try it
+
this could be a new page, [[:Application deployment]]
   −
As far as i know, SELinux is already turned off on SME
+
this could include other ways to deploy, eg using netlogon.bat
   −
do you wan to make the rpms you list dependencies,
+
others can work on this cool34000 has done enough
just keep the ones not in a repo in your contribs folder,
  −
then install with
  −
yum localinstall smeserver-tools* --enablerepo=dag (or whatever repos are needed)
     −
also you don't need to restart crond, it just finds new jobs automagically
+
Stefen
 
  −
and only do an inventory on install not upgrade

Here's the way I've always used OCS... First I import the standard ''ocsagent.exe'' in MySQL.
   −
Thanks for your suggestions, and just glad that I can help you with ipdiscover!
+
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)
 
  −
I will modify the RPM after sleeping (it's 05am here lol!)
     −
=> I will also integrate the new apache template you suggested.
+
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!
   −
=> I also need to rebuild the database with IF NOT EXIST tests... This should be better!
+
Of course, more can be done...
   −
=> There is this this detail I'm not sure: type of ocs and glpi should be "reserved" or "url"? (file ''/etc/e-smith/db/accounts/defaults/glpi/type'')
+
*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 used reserved, i don't think it matters, will setting these values stop the creation of an ibay, it should
+
==glpi==
 
  −
maybe we need to set download as a url
     −
stephen
+
someone who uses this may like to add some more information on how to use it, some link to more docs at least

IP discover worked on a client, possibly it didn't work on the sme acting as client.
  −
do we care to fix it if that was the problem, just say force on a different pc (or just wait)
