I recently implemented OCS and can't seem to get the windows agent to communicate with the OCS server. I downloaded and install the latest release for both server side and client/agent.
I installed OCS on a windows server 2008 r2 box. At the step where I asked for credentials(optional) I have entered all the credentials i have documented. Yet below is the output of the ocsinventory.log file
Starting OCS Inventory NG Agent on Tuesday, August 16, 2016 12:50:08.

I have also left the credentials prompt blank. What credentials am I suppose to use here?
I have used the mysql root, web ui user/pass, and ocs db user and password with no luck.
lastly, I modified the ocsinventory.ini file as recommended on their wiki documentation:
Solution: OCS engine can't comunicate with mysql server. Probably due to a wrong mysql account. You have to check z-ocsinventory-server.conf (ocsinventory-server.conf on Windows Server), exactly theses few lines
# Master Database settings
# Replace localhost by hostname or ip of MySQL server for WRITE
PerlSetEnv OCS_DB_HOST localhost
# Replace 3306 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 ocs
Modify OCS_DB_USER and OCS_DB_PWD with your own account, restart apache, and finaly launch an inventory.
