"Can't call method "do" on an undefined value"

Question

Hi !

I'm getting thoses messages when some clients are trying to connect to my server:

 Can't call method "do" on an undefined value at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/Apache/Ocsinventory/Server/System.pm line 177.

I have checked and the line 177 is about the connection to do Database so I checked the parameters and apparently there is nothing wrong :

# Master Database settings

  # Replace DATABASE_SERVER by hostname or ip of MySQL server for WRITE

  PerlSetEnv OCS_DB_HOST 1*.*.*.*

  #PerlSetEnv OCS_DB_HOST localhost

  # Replace DATABASE_PORT by port where running MySQL server, generally 3306

  PerlSetEnv OCS_DB_PORT 3306

  # Name of database

  PerlSetEnv OCS_DB_NAME ocsweb

  PerlSetEnv OCS_DB_LOCAL ocsweb

  # User allowed to connect to database

  PerlSetEnv OCS_DB_USER ocs

  # Password for user

  PerlSetVar OCS_DB_PWD *****

 

I have a dedicated server for the Database, do I really need to keep setting the "OCS_DB_LOCAL" parameter?

 

I would appreciate any help.

 

My best regards,

Is your mysql listening on the network for external connexions ?

Look on your mysql user if it can connect from remote. If all are OK, just look if there is no firewall.
