How to check if the plugin works? [OCS 2.6]

Question

Hello guys!

Because of a problem with plugins installation I had to change the letter size of directory and file names. After that the installation was successful and apache restart correctly. But I dont know how to check if the plugin works - I've never seen any :-P Where i should see results?

For example: https://github.com/PluginsOCSInventory-NG/officepack/releases

1. In Webconsole --> Deployment --> Build. I added here zip file with vbs script --> Execute and msofficekey.vbs in command field. After send it I tried automatic activate but:

GROUP OF REDISTRIBUTION NOT EXIST

OK than... Inventory --> Groups --> REDISTRIBUTION GROUP --> but i havent any Add button here. I can only create new static group.

2. I tried activate it manual - there is link: http://ocs.mydomain/download/1576224576 but when I tray to get there:

The requested URL was not found on this server.

3. Third attempt - i used OcsPackager.exe and include plugins - zip with vbs and vbs directly. I installed the agent on a workstation - in Plugin folder i see zip, and i see vbs... but what now? No results anywhere.

Answer 1

Are plugins tables being created? Are the tables empty? Why don't you try with other plugins? I have these working: checkfiles.zip, networkshare.zip, security.zip, sharedfolders.zip, uptime.zip, winusers.zip. Plugins info are shown in different tabs of each computer details info. For instance, winusers plugin info is shown under the miscelaneous tab.

I did not have this problem, in my case it worked only with the new fields.

I used the uptime plugin to do troubleshoting, but had no problem with it.

Answer 3

But I tried with other plugins. All the same problem. I installed phpMyAdmin and no new tables after:

# sudo python3 install_plugin.py

If you don't have this problem, I obviously did something wrong ... but I don't know what. 

Happy New Year by the way :)
