Talk:OCS Inventory Tools

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 !@#$

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...

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'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 :-)

I've added back stephen's improvements (ocs ng setions)

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:

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?
