directory ocsreports missing with OCS server GIT install?

Question

Did an install with copy derived from

git clone https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/OCSInventory-Server.git

This install ran fine until the point where ocsreports should be copied:

+----------------------------------------------------------+

+----------------------------------------------------------+

Creating PHP directory /some/path/ocsinventory-server/share/ocsreports.
Copying PHP files to /some/path/ocsinventory-server/share/ocsreports.
*** ERROR: Unable to copy files in /some/path/ocsinventory-server/share/ocsreports, please look at error in /some/path/OCSInventory-Server/ocs_server_setup.log and fix !

Installation aborted !

It appears to me as if this directory is missing from the GIT distro. Or is it not OK to install this way?

Thanks for any hints, Tom

Hi,

Use git clone https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/OCSInventory-ocsreports.git to get ocsreports. ocsreports and ocsserver are separated on github.

Frank, thanks, that is very helpful.

I'm not yet fully clear:

• the "classic" download OCSNG_UNIX_SERVER-2.2RC1.tar.gz will give me both ocsreports and ocsserver, all under the OCSNG_UNIX_SERVER-master directory
• git clone of both URLs will give me two subdirectories: OCSInventory-Server  and OCSInventory-ocsreports

Does that mean, that I should abort the ./setup.sh started within OCSInventory-Server at the "Do you wish to setup Administration Server (Web Administration Console)..." stage, and start another setup within the OCSInventory-ocsreports subdir afterwards?

Thanks, Tom

OK, the following seems to do:

ln -s ../OCSInventory-ocsreports ocsreports

Did I miss this in the docs?
