Local Import Error HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

Question

I am trying to use the Local Import function to load a .ocs file that was sent to me by someone who remotely scanned a machine.  When I try to import, I am getting an error as follows:

Error HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

I was able to import a different .ocs file a few weeks ago into this same system, via the same method, but I have since turned off the VM as it wasnt needed until now.  I have tried to import both .ocs files, the one that worked previously, and the new one, and both give the same error.  

I am running OCS Server 2.3 on a CentOS 7, Apache 2.4, PHP 5.6, mod_perl 2.0.10, PERL v5.16.3.

Also, when I go to the local import screen, it says the server is http://localhost:80/ocsinventory.  Could this be part of the issue?  How do I change that to be the IP instead of localhost? 

Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

Hello, can you send error.log of apache2 (var/log/apache2).

Answer 2

Hey Rick,

I have a similar OS / OCS setup as you and I'm dealing with the same issue on local imports. Are you using https / ssl for your agent(s)?  I get Error HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request when I change my local import server to "http://localhost:443/ocsinventory".  Perhaps you are sending the request via. https, instead of http?

Hi, I have the same issue (related in a topic I've created today...) since upgrade OCS version to the latest (2.3.1).

Here is parts of logs files :

• In the OCS activity.log, there is no error message.
• In the Apache access.log, I found this :

10.75.x.x - - [29/Mar/2017:10:26:23 +0200] "GET /ocsreports/index.php?function=admin_local_import HTTP/1.1" 200 3103 "http://ocsserver/ocsreports/index.php?function=admin_logs" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) $

• In the Apache error.log, I have this :

Answer 4

I have the same issue. I can't see anything in the logs that identify the root cause.

I see these allover lately but does not seem to break anything:

[Wed May 17 11:17:58.580171 2017] [:error] [pid 3372] [client 10.2.3.4:50247] PHP Warning:  mysqli_connect(): Headers and client library minor version mismatch. Headers:50554 Library:50636 in /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/require/function_commun.php on line 160, referer: http://ocs-server.lan/?function=admin_local_import

Answer 5

I just did a clean install of 2.3.1 and from that install I cannot import either.
