ERROR *** AGENT => Failed to send Prolog <HTTP Status Code #500>

I always get the error ERROR *** AGENT => Failed to send Prolog <HTTP Status Code #500> in the ocsinventory.log:

When i go to http://DNSofServer/ocsinventory/ I just get the Error 500

Can't call method "do" on an undefined value at C:/xampp/perl/site/lib/Apache/Ocsinventory/Server/System.pm line 177.

I installed OCS Server with the Setup-File of OCS Inventory NG 2.2.1 so I've installed the components:

Apache/2.2.21 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.21 OpenSSL/1.0.0e PHP/5.3.8 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1

Do you have any suggestions how I can fix this problem? The agent can't send an inventory.

Thanks in advance!

If I change the password from "ocs1" back to the standard "ocs" and restart the server, sending inventory works. I also changed the password on mysql for the table ocsweb. But if I want to take another password than the default password, it won't work. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

  1. root can't be the user that access ocsweb database. Use mysql ocs user.
  2. When you change the password for ocs mysql user (in mysql) you have to change it in var.php and (z-)ocsinventory-server.conf. After that restart apache otherwise this is not operating correctly.

Hi, thx for the answer!

But it is no solution for my problem. If I change the standard password for user ocs in mysql, the client can't connect to the server and says Error 500. Im using Windows Server so the config files are ocsinventory-server.conf and dbconfig.inc.php. I can change it there too, restart the server but the client can't connect to the server then. To test I made a new user "ocsuser" and use this user in both of the config files. Then it works, but only when the password for the user "ocs" is standard password "ocs". When I change it, there is Error 500 again, although I use user "ocsuser" in both config files..

Can you help me to solve this problem? Thanks

Regards

I'm in the same problem.
I install the Agent on my workstation on my machine and I do not get results from collecting information on the server. I was able to observe that the ports during the installation are TIME WAIT and after a minute they disappear without bringing any information from my machine.
Here's the LOG:

Have you solved the problem? I have  the same problem.

I have updated to version 2.4 and since then I get the error:

Failed to send Prolog <HTTP Status Code #500>

I have checked the file dbconfig.inc.php and it's correct. 

I have checked  file z-ocsinventory-server.conf and i's correct.

Hi

Look apache error log file to find the corresponding 500 error.
