OCS Inventory NG server 2.5 on Ubuntu 18.04.1

I have found guide about installing 2.4 on Ubuntu 16.04, but I was looking for any latest guide on installing 2.5 on Ubuntu server 18.04.1. Ubuntu server 18.04.1 is the latest server build, and OCS 2.5 is also the latest.

I believe the installation will be almost similar, but I want to make sure that I am installing all latest components as part of OCS server requirement.

  • MySQL Server – version 4.1 or higher
  • Perl
  • Apache Web server
  • Apache Mod_perl
  • PHP with ZIP support enabled.
  • Apache Mod_php
  • Perl module XML::Simple
  • Perl module Compress::Zlib
  • Perl module DBI
  • Perl module DBD::Mysql
  • Perl module Apache::DBI
  • Perl module Net::IP
  • Perl module Archive::Zip
  • Perl module Apache2:SOAP
  • Perl module SOAP::Lite
  • Perl module XML::Entities

I found one guide in here which seems the latest

https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-ocs-inventory-server-on-ubuntu-18-04/

The other one is in here http://ask.ocsinventory-ng.org/8583/tutorial-ocs-2-4-on-ubuntu-16-04

Can I use the first one and install all required components?

Thank you.

Has anyone gotten this working with Server 2.5 on 18.04.1 (also MariaDB 10.3) ?  No matter what I do, the agents only check in using the 'ocs' account.  I get the following error:

OCS-NG_WINDOWS_AGENT_v2.3.1.1;database_connect;Access denied for user 'ocs'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

These files have the correct credentials and using a different database username (NOT ocs)...

/usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/dbconfig.inc.php

/etc/apache2/conf-available/z-ocsinventory-server.conf

/etc/apache2/conf-enabled/z-ocsinventory-server.conf

Where else would it be getting that ocs account from?  I modified the setup.sh to use a different account from ocs as well for the install.  Thanks.

Also... this is the script used to install....
