=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.
   −
rpm -3 installs fine, deploy=>builds ok, /downloads is accessible
+
I've opened a [http://forums.ocsinventory-ng.org/viewtopic.php?pid=5684#p5684 thread] on OCS forum.
   −
a minor point, I suggest you add /downloads to accounts db as a url next rpm
+
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.
   −
deploying =>
+
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.
   −
I think we should just ignore the activate error, the files are visible from clients
+
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 installed a cacert certificate as per the contribs howto,

----
copied the domain.crt to cacert.pem in the client ocs folder
     −
deployed a file, run a client update and it is now aware of the update, so we now wait
+
==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.
   −
impatient people see http://forums.ocsinventory-ng.org/viewtopic.php?id=1079
+
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''!
----
     −
Thanks for cleaning this up!
+
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!
   −
Your comments are on my todo's list ;-)
+
Help needed!

Can you confirm that ipdiscover works on your install?

=wiki page=
   −
As I used 3 PCs to get ipdiscover info, I didn't test only with SME enabled.
     −
Try the following:
  −
ipdiscover eth0 10
  −
{{Note box|''Usage : ipdiscover [iface name] [latency in ms]''}}
     −
Here's what I got on my server:

Sounds like it's working for me...

there must be a lot of ways this could be used,

+
why make everyone think of them themselves when it could be spelled out
looks to be working here also, maybe it was operator error ?

this could be a new page, [[:Application deployment]]
ocsinventory-client.pl -debug
     −
DOWNLOAD: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>

this could include other ways to deploy, eg using netlogon.bat

could not find ParserDetails.ini in /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/XML/SAX
+
Here's the way I've always used OCS... First I import the standard ''ocsagent.exe'' in MySQL.
  −
hide warning ? with
  −
touch /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini
     −
still waiting...
+
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 found this [http://perl-xml.sourceforge.net/faq/#parserdetails.ini link]
  −
We need to build this file!
     −
touch /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini
+
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.
  perl -MXML::SAX -e "XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::PurePerl))->save_parsers()"
+
  @echo off
  chmod 0444 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini
+
  \\server\share\mydomain.com.exe /np /debug /tag:my_tag
 +
That's all!
   −
Here's the content of generated file:
+
Of course, more can be done...
[XML::SAX::PurePerl]
  −
http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces = 1
     −
No more warning! :-D
+
*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!
