I have a problem. When I install the agent on a windows machine it does not register with OCS Server. I do not know what I'm doing wrong. This is the txt summary of the installation:

Have you access to http://10.0.2.15/ocsinventory with a browser? If yes, you must have error 400. If not, verify z-ocsinventory-server.conf file on the ocs server.

Hi Frank

Thanks for your help and happy new year.

No, the page through the browser does not load. I really don't understand what i'm doing wrong. I reinstalled the server in a new virtual machine and nothing. I still haven't been able to connect. look here are the documents of both the server and the agent.

I do not know what to do. Please help!.

best wishes

Hi, there is many errors in your conf !

In your agent.ini, you tell it to use SSL, but the url of the server is not in https:\\FQDN:443\ocsinventory

For database, we see in activity.log

database_connect;Access denied for user 'ocs'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"

may be a wrong password/permission for ocs user in your ocsweb database ; OR/AND wrong password at var "PerlSetEnv OCS_DB_USER in the file

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

In Eror.log, we see a lot of error about mpm_prefork restart, may be caused by log rotate or other conf error... look at google to resolve this

I recommend you to read the documentation http://wiki.ocsinventory-ng.org/ or this tutorial here https://miloszengel.com/ocs-inventory-ng-2-5-install-guide-on-debian-stretch-with-ssl-and-deployment/

Carreful, if you use tutorial, you must adapt it for your Ubuntu distrib. Example for Ubuntu 20.04, it's SQL 8, the command for create user, give acces right, etc etc have change, see here https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-20-04-fr  or here https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/install-mysql-server-8-on-ubuntu-20-04-lts-linux/
