I really need help with an OCS Inv...

Like the subject says, I have no idea what I am doing. The OCS Website cannot write to the cache and template_c folder. I have them shared for everyone. Also, I have installed the client on two machines but I can see niether of them on the server interface. Please help!

- If it helps, it is an Open Source Software, written for Linux but I have the Windows Version.

Oct 20, 2008

- All drivers and updates are current. It was installed as administrator. It is on Windows Server 2003 SP 2.

Oct 20, 2008

- Yes, all drivers are current, all software is patched. It was installed as administrator. It is on a Windows Server 2003 SP2 box.

Oct 20, 2008

- I've been through the wiki page with a fine tooth comb. I know I am missing something obvious but never the less, it isn't working at all. There is a Windows Version and a Linux version. I am using the Windows version.

Oct 20, 2008

- Ok, well I've been on that for 2 weeks and hitting their forums for just as long (if not longer) but it seems the people who got it running don't visit their forum. I am literally at the end of my rope. :(

Oct 20, 2008

- Ok, where is the services link? How do I get my $9.99 back? And thank you for trying anyway! :)

Oct 20, 2008

- Ok, still need help here. :)

Oct 20, 2008

- Yes, it was installed with a GPO at start up on the client machines.

Oct 20, 2008

- Still an issue.

Oct 20, 2008

- Scott:

"The Requested Web Page is Not Available"

Have another link, sir? :)

Oct 21, 2008

- Which components? I've installed apache2, mysql

Oct 21, 2008

- Which components? I've installed apache2, mysql and the FTP Program. I've been over the manual but it doesn't seem to cover how to configure them, outside of installing the services.

Oct 21, 2008

- Still an issue.

Oct 21, 2008

- I'm not sure I understand your issue. You seem to be angry because the manual didn't help. I apologize if I offended you.

There is a downloadable manual. You need to install other components for it to work.

Ensure that you do not need to download any patch for the software, ensure that you are installing the software as administrator.

Please provide more sppecific information on the software and system used.

Thanks.

ok..lets begin at the beginning..

which version of windows are you with_

Comments:

Oct 20, 2008

- and where or why would you want a linux application to run on windows

Oct 20, 2008

- here you go..

and thanks for using the fixya for this solution

Oct 20, 2008

- can you help here..are you familiar with cross platform installations?

Oct 20, 2008

- ok..so you do have the windows version..see that link i supplied..it is rich in resources

and thans for using fixya for this solution..

Oct 20, 2008

- the only real option here is to tap into that resource is listed, which is on the OCS site. This is a much higher end application than usually shows up at fixya to tell you the truth.

Oct 20, 2008

- well..sometimes the truth is painful. this sort of open source implementation, in my experience, can be troublesome on a good day with all the information. i recommend you acquire the services of an IT expert through the services link on fixya..

Oct 20, 2008

- well..frankly, that link is on the front page, on the middle right.

and since i just saved you a ton of problems that would be self induced, there is value in knowing what NOT to do, sometimes.

thank you for using fixya to rate my support today..

Oct 20, 2008

- well.good luck on this. according to the terms of service you are entitled to do this..

Oct 20, 2008

- yeppers..and still not worth 4 or 6 bucks either..

Have you downloaded and installed the Given patch for windows:
Microsoft Patch
Comments:

Oct 21, 2008

- Sorry that link was broken:
Please try and read this document: Micrsoft V++

Oct 21, 2008

- Just download the NMake15.exe and the 119591 file from More Information , run them and reboot PC.
Let me know after this.

Oct 21, 2008

- If you have the manual: OCS Inventory from this link.
And if you had done upto step 6, let me know if any error occured at this stage?
For configuration, if you have rebooted the PC and Start the FTP and if asked for file then Apache service restart.
After this, you need to do:
Test OCS Inventory NG Server In folder <<InstallFolder>>/<<AGENT_FOLDER>>, run ocsAgent.exe. This command creates a folder C:\ocs-ng where OCS Inventory NG agent is installed. Open a command prompt in this folder and run command :
ocsinventory /server:127.0.0.1 /pnum:<<port>> /debug
Check in Administration console that your computer has been added in inventory. Setup is now finished and OCS Inventory NG Server may work without any problem.

Oct 21, 2008

- Have you try all the steps suggested earlier by me? let me know where you got stuck? Otherwise you need to rollback everything.
