I responded to another thread about this issue with the below info but wanted to start a new thread so its at the top of the list and not lost in pages of threads. Has anyone been able to figure this out? I see many threads with this issue but no resolution.
I am running OCS version 2.0.5. I downloaded one of the Linux VMs (CentOS 6.2)
Agent version 2.1.0.3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am having this exact same issue and can't make heads or tails of it. I've seen multiple threads with this issue but no resolution. I have verified mod_perl is installed and enabled. When I check my ocsinventory.ini file on the windows 2008 R2 server I am testing with I see Server=http://name.domain.com:80/ocsinventory. SSL is set to 1 for some reason. If I set to 0 to turn it off I still see the above mentioned error in event viewer (Service encounter error <Failed to load/parse last inventory state>.) Your suggestion for the .ini file is to set Server=http://@ipaddress/ocsinventory. I done this as well (with or without the @) and still get the same constat error in the Windows Application log for the client machine. I installed this environment by using the downloadable VMware virtual machine you provide. Can you tell what I am doing wrong here?
Also, this is what I see in the agent log file (ocsinventory.txt)

To verify mod_perl I opened a web browser and navigated to http://ocsinventory-ng.mydomain.com/perl-status and get this:
I should add that I am deploying the agent through Windows GPO. I followed the documentation here:

What am I doing wrong? We used to have a Windows OCS server running version 1.3.2 which worked flawlessly but was running on 2003 which we were forced to retire last summer. I decided to use Linux since it was the preferred method and thought it would be easier to just download the VM instead but it's been a big headache.
