Topic: OCS inventory tools installation

[PatchPanel]

Hello,

trying to install the OCS Inventory Tools I followed the installation instructions mentioned in the Wiki (SME 7.5.1).

Code: [Select]

yum install mod_perl
Results in
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do


Code: [Select]

yum update perl-Compress-Zlib
Results in
Could not find update match for perl-Compress-Zlib
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion

The installation of the dependencies worked.

Code: [Select]

yum install smeserver-inventory-tools --enablerepo=smecontribs
Results in
Parsing package install arguments
No Match for argument: smeserver-inventory-tools
Nothing to do


 

Any clue ?

When I browse the content of the smecontribs repository (http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/7/smecontribs/i386/repoview/letter_s.group.html), I don't see any package named "smeserver-inventory-tools".

I do see a package named smeserver-ocsinventory.

This looks like the same contrib, but I can't find any concrete reference saying that "smeserver-inventory-tools" was renamed as "smeserver-ocsinventory".

Thanks.

"smeserver-ocsinventory"

worked.

Accessing the OCS inventory in the server panel shows following error

Code: [Select]

ERROR: MySql connection problem
Access denied for user 'ocs'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Hi.

I'm the maintener of smeserver-ocsinventory. it's not the same as smeserver-inventory-tool (which provided GLPI as well), it's just the OCS part (standalone).
Once you've installed the rpm, you need to run:

Code: [Select]

signal-event ocs-update
Then, go to https://yourserver/ocs/install.php and validate this page. OCS should then be available. Once your here, you can follow the inventory-tool documentation (for the OCS part at least).

Regards, Daniel

Bonsoir,

what do I have to do to install to whole package including GLPI and -if necessary- rollback the installation done so far ?
(No further action has been taken since my last post)

What about the installation issue I have reported ?

Thanks for your help
et les meilleurs salutations

Daniel,

I did what you advised, now I see

Code: [Select]

Table 'ocsweb.accountinfo' doesn't exist

Hello,

after install I got the same message. Reason was, that I forgot to go to:

"go to https://yourserver/ocs/install.php"

After doing this, all was ok.

Regards, Uli

Oh sorry, I made the same mistake...

now it works.

On the OCS website the software version is 2.whatever.
Are there plans to update the contrib as well ?

Hello,

at the moment Installation of "smeserver-ocsinventory" is not possible, because of an unsolved dependency:

"perl(XML::SAX) >= 0.15 is needed by package perl-XML-Simple"

Servers with installed OCS-Inventory cant be updated because of this problem...

Good Day

The Wiki says to install the smeserver-inventory-tools , from smecontribs , this isnt possible..I found the rpm here

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/7/smedev/i386/RPMS/smeserver-inventory-tools-1-7.el4.sme.i386.rpm

I will follow up to see how this changes the smeserver-ocsinventory rpm

The Wiki says to install the smeserver-inventory-tools , from smecontribs , this isnt possible..

please, define..

and remember we are not in front of your monitor, so you must be our eyes..

thank you

[shawnbishop]

on the following page

http://wiki.contribs.org/OCS_Inventory_Tools

There is a command

 yum install smeserver-inventory-tools --enablerepo=smecontribs

This is not possible, as the contrib doesnt exist..when I do a search of the mirrors, I found the file at the above location in the link, then I could install it.

If I read the rest of the post, I appears there is a smeserver-ocsinventory contrib, but this conflicts with teh inventory tools

Hello,

I think there are two OCS-Inventory contribs, an older and a newer one.

- The one described in the Wiki is the older one (Ver. 4100 in Webinterface), it has been installed with:
"yum install smeserver-inventory-tools --enablerepo=smecontribs".
It installed the package "smeserver-inventory-tools-1-7.el4.sme.i386.rpm".
This installation came with OCS and GLPI
This package seems to lack in the "smecontribs" and the wiki hasn't been updated for correct functionality.
So, if you try the wiki, you dont success.

- The second and newer one (Ver. 1.02 in Webinterface) installs with:
"yum install smeserver-ocsinventory --enablerepo=smecontribs"
It installs the package "smeserver-ocsinventory-0.1-11.el4.sme.noarch.rpm"
This installation only includes OCS, it comes without GLPI

These two versions conflict with another.

Hello,

- I don't know a way to upgrade OCS 4.100 on SME, with or without GLPI but would be interested in this too.
- But I've got the same problem as you, the workstation can't contact the OCS-Server and closes the connection.
In the logfile of the OCS client on the workstation you can read this:

"HTTP SERVER: The server returned an invalid or unrecognized response"

Curios seems to me that this contact in seldom cases is successful - if you try for five or six times, then one time the agent gets contact to the OCS Server and the communication is ok. But its only sometimes.

Can someone help or give a hint in the right direction to get OCS (maybe a newer version...) still working solidly again?
