Answer 1

Hi,

The password for mysql user defined in ocsinventory-server.conf is not correct. By default this is set to ocs. Change it and restart apache after modifications.

Answer 2

hello,

thank frank for taking his time to answer my question. i have been looking the file ocsinventory-server.conf for several days now. i can see that i have changed the line number 32 written PerlSetVar OCS_BD_PWD by another password. that means i am no more using the default password. meanwhile i still have the same error couldn't resolve host name.

please if someone else can propose something i will be thankfull

Regards

I faced similar problem, i used password with $ sign due to which the connectivity problem. so i changed the password without using the '$' in the new password, it worked. please try and see.
