****For lazy people or new on Linux I suggest installing mc instead if vim for editing files, it is also good file manager

sudo apt-get install mc 

Change Options>Config>UseInternalEditor>save 

sudo mc (find file and use F4 for edit, F2 for save file) }

Connecting Agents

Agents must be installed with version < or = OCSserver version, for example for XAMPP on Windows OCSserver2.2 must use Agent 2.1.1.1

For presented in this Tutorial Linux OCSserver 2.4 must use Agent 2.3.1.1(is highest aviable at the moment) or below.

Installation of Agents on windows I use default settings, just uncheck field Validate certificates, Of course  if choose it to be checked must generate certificate on OCSserwer and place it to a Agent config Folder (on windows 10 it is C:\ProgramData\OCS Inventory NG)

User and Password on Agent not need to be used for simple HTTP connection, just ensure you entered right IP Your_server_IP:80(standard port for http)

I followed all the instructions as described, but when running the agent in Windows 7 it does not work. I put:

http://192.168.1.11:80/ocsinventory and http://192.168.1.11:/ocsinventory

no certificates

immediately launch inventory (=/NOW)

Hi, 

Please check tis adress in web browser in agent, if doesn't work try to change network location, in Network and sharing center under your network Name shoud be written privet else local network can be locked.

Easiest way to solve problem is:

Go to Network and sharing center, then left down> Home group >Change location (on Windows 7 must select else than public, Windows 10 just ask You for confirmation in Notification area on right side, then just ckick Yes)

If it does't work you'll have to check is Agent allowed to connect througth firewall.

Plase Write if it solve the problem.

When running the sudo setup.sh command, a message was displayed that "Molicious :: Lite, Switch, Plack :: Handler" is not installed, so I did:

    sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Mojolicious :: Lite'
    sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Switch'
    sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Plack :: Handler'

and OCS works

I wanted to install the plugin (plugin winusers) and the following message:
"The communication server encountered the following error on install"

I do not know what I did wrong because I did everything right after installing the ubuntu.

Please HELP ME.

Hi,

I also had a problem due installing plugins . My problem was that Installation in ocsserver did'n create folder and pleace there unziped files. For example TeamViewer:

Have to create manually /etc/ocsinventory-server/perl/Apache/Ocsinventory/Plugins/Teamviewer/

And unzip from plugin.zip(I used mc) two files:

/etc/ocsinventory-server/perl/Apache/Ocsinventory/Plugins/Teamviewer/Map.pm

/etc/ocsinventory-server/plugins/Teamviewer.conf

Plugins in zip should be still in /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/download 

Next must change permitions:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /etc/ocsinventory-server/perl/Apache/Ocsinventory/Plugins/Teamviewer/Map.pm

and:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /etc/ocsinventory-server/plugins/Teamviewer.conf

sudo systemctl reload apache2
