Why does windows OCS NG agent receive http status code 500

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.

I modified the ocsweb user/password in the ocsinventory-server.conf file in the apache/conf/extra directory.

Perhaps I was modifying a different file. Not sure, but now it works.
