Hello --
I have an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit distribution server that I want to use as the OCS Inventory server. The Apache and MySQL servers that are installed are those from the Ubuntu packages.
I have downloaded the 2.1.2 distribution, and I have gone through the motions of installing the software. There were several issues that I encountered during the installation process:
1. When the installation script referenced the apache2.conf file, the following error messages appeared on-screen:

I entered the full path name to the apache2.conf file, and the installation script proceeded onward.
2. I had to specify the include directory the script was seeking as the /etc/apache2/site-available folder.
3. I was unable to install the Apache2::SOAP perl module because the /opt/apache2/include directory is not present on the server.
4. After the installation was finished, the z-ocsinventory-server.conf file was not located in the /etc/apache2/sites-available directory, but off of the root, /, directory. When I copied the aforementioned file to the above folder, the apache server complained about it, and I was forced to remove it.
The end result is the application appears to be installed, but I cannot access the web interface.
I have the ocs_server_setup_log file available for upload, but I did not see a way to attach it to this posting. If someone wants a copy of it, please let me know.
