create or use a database
}
rm /var/www/glpi/install/install.php

Don't forget to change your passwords in OCS and glpi.

With this solution, u'll have OCS & GLPI Installed but no connection
between them.

There is a bug i still haven't found the solution.
OCS will display 0 computer on the /ocsreports/
but if you go to All computers, u will see all of your computers.
If someone find the solution for this Post-it here please thx. 

Answer 1

Thanks you for your contribution, we are currently working on the php7 compatibility, the next version will be more compliant with it.

Answer 2

Hey thank you.

i have a little problem with the plugin :(

You don't have permission to access /plugins/ocsinventoryng/front/config.php on this server.

i don't know the reason!?

permissions :

chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/glpi
chmod -R 777 /var/www
chmod -R 777 /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports
chmod -R 777 /var/www/glpi

any idea?

Answer 4

Excelent solution and OCS inventory is lifted, but does not collect agent information ... I do not understand what may be going on, I have searched and I still do not find the solution. Please help.

Answer 5

Is this found somewhere else? Long lines are cut short, I am worried I might miss something.

I looked at the page source. Got what I needed.

Answer 6

Question:
Forgive me Im a Windows/GUI person, so struggling a LOT with this.

I've been following this and come up with a few issues

Firstly Apache wont restart - Any clues from this log?
sudo service apache2 restart

And question: #ServerName www.example.com

Should this be MY server name? or is that line as I should type it in??

My GLPI.CONF shows up exactly like this - is it correct?

Write in {
Alias / /var/www/glpi/
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
    #ServerName www.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/glpi
      <Directory "/var/www/glpi/">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        #AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
}

Thank you
