How to install OCSNG 1.0.1 on OpenSuse 10.2

下面我将描述如何安装 OCSNG 服务器和客户端.服务器的安装在 openSuse Linux 中,文中将提到 Linux 和 Windows 代理的安装方法.最终能在界面中看到两个节点的清单信息,不过只有 Linux 的哪个会每天更新.This article is talking about how to install OCSNG 1.0.1 on a openSuSE 10.2 system.

Requirements: You have to meet the following requirements. Apache version 1.3.33 or higher / Apache version 2.0.46 or higher. Mod_perl version 1.29 or higher. Mod_php version 4.3.2 or higher. PHP 4.3.2 or higher, with ZIP and GD support enabled. PERL 5.6 or higher. Perl module XML::Simple version 2.12 or higher. Perl module Compress::Zlib version 1.33 or higher. Perl module DBI version 1.40 or higher. Perl module DBD::Mysql version 2.9004 or higher. Perl module Apache::DBI version 0.93 or higher. Perl module Net::IP version 1.21 or higher. Perl module SOAP::Lite version 0.66 or higher (not mandatory) MySQL version 4.1.0 or higher with InnoDB engine active. Make utility like GNU make.If you can use yast for managing package, I believe you could install all of them within 20 minutes. I won’t say more about this.
Installing Management/communication Server and Web Console You must have root privileges to setup management server. Login OS as root, then do the following:1)Download install package from http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ocsinventory/OCSNG_LINUX_SERVER_1.01.tar.gz2)unpack itSuse:/mnt/hgfs/win/OCSNG # cp OCSNG_LINUX_SERVER_1.01.tar.gz /rootSuse:/mnt/hgfs/win/OCSNG # cdSuse:~ # tar zxf OCSNG_LINUX_SERVER_1.01.tar.gzSuse:~ # cd OCSNG_LINUX_SERVER_1.01/Suse:~/OCSNG_LINUX_SERVER_1.01 #3)run installerSuse:~/OCSNG_LINUX_SERVER_1.01 # sh setup.sh+———————————————————-+| || Welcome to OCS Inventory NG Management server setup ! || |+———————————————————-+CAUTION: If upgrading Communication server from OCS Inventory NG 1.0 RC2 andprevious, please remove any Apache configuration for Communication Server!Do you wish to continue ([y]/n)?yAssuming Communication server 1.0 RC2 or previous is not installedon this computer.Starting OCS Inventory NG Management server setup from folder /root/OCSNG_LINUX_SERVER_1.01Storing log in file /root/OCSNG_LINUX_SERVER_1.01/ocs_server_setup.log+———————————————————-+| Checking for database server properties… |+———————————————————-+Your MySQL client seems to be part of MySQL version 5.0.Your computer seems to be running MySQL 4.1 or higher, good ;-)Which host is running database server [localhost] ?OK, database server is running on host localhost ;-)On which port is running database server [3306] ?OK, database server is running on port 3306 ;-)+———————————————————-+| Checking for Apache web server daemon… |+———————————————————-+which: no httpd in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/gnome/sbin:/root/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/opt/opennms/bin)which: no apache in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/gnome/sbin:/root/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/opt/opennms/bin)which: no apache2 in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/gnome/sbin:/root/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/opt/opennms/bin)Where is Apache daemon binary [] ?/usr/sbin/httpd2OK, using Apache daemon /usr/sbin/httpd2 ;-)+———————————————————-+| Checking for Apache main configuration file… |+———————————————————-+Where is Apache main configuration file [/srv/www//etc/apache2/httpd.conf] ?/etc/apache2/httpd.confOK, using Apache main configuration file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf ;-)+———————————————————-+| Checking for Apache user account… |+———————————————————-+Which user account is running Apache web server [] ?wwwrunOK, Apache is running under user account wwwrun ;-)+———————————————————-+| Checking for Apache group… |+———————————————————-+Which user group is running Apache web server [wwwrun] ?wwwOK, Apache is running under users group www ;-)+———————————————————-+| Checking for PERL Interpreter… |+———————————————————-+Found PERL Intrepreter at ;-)Where is PERL Intrepreter binary [/usr/bin/perl] ?/usr/bin/perlOK, using PERL Intrepreter /usr/bin/perl ;-)Do you wish to setup Communication server on this computer ([y]/n)?y+———————————————————-+| Checking for Make utility… |+———————————————————-+OK, Make utility found at ;-)+———————————————————-+| Checking for Apache Include configuration directory… |+———————————————————-+Setup has found Apache Include configuration directory in.If you are not using Include directive, please enter ’no’.Where is Apache Include configuration directory [] ?/etc/apache2/conf.dOK, Apache Include configuration directory /etc/apache2/conf.d found ;-)+———————————————————-+| Checking for Apache mod_perl version… |+———————————————————-+Checking for Apache mod_perl version 1.99_22 or higherFound that mod_perl version 1.99_22 or higher is available.OK, Apache is using mod_perl version 1.99_22 or higher ;-)+———————————————————-+| Checking for Communication server log directory… |+———————————————————-+Communication server can create detailled logs.

Open FireFox it is my current favorite browser and point it on URL http://Ip_address/ocsreportsThe first warning message should be this.WARNING: You will not be able to build any auto deployment package with size greater than 2M.You must raise both post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in your php.ini to correct this.Do the following to fix it:# vi php.iniThe default post_max_size is 8M, we are going to increase upload_max_filesize to 12M; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.upload_max_filesize = 12MWe should restart apache to take it effectRun this command: /etc/init.d/apache2 restartPress F5 to refresh the first web page, this warning is still there.

The job will launch OCS Inventory NG Agent once a day under root account, that means a update will get into database every day. Now you will see one single node in the web console.->Installing a Windows AgentOCSNG 1.01 does not support Vista yet, so I tested it on Windows Xp/2K/2K3 and it works very well.You will donwload OCSNG_WIN32_AGENT_1.01_repack.zipUnzip it and run ocsagent.exe. I’d like to test a standalone version agent, it is not a service version agent.Double click ocsagent.exe, then you will get a new folder C:\ocs-ngCreate a batch file in this folder.My scan.bat file as below:OCSInventory.exe /server:Ip_Address_of_server /np /tag:“LiuZheng” /hkcu /forceIn order to get inventory scan into database, you will double click scan.bat file. Now, you will get one more node in web console. It is a good idea to copy c:\ocs-ng folder on a USB key. Then you are able to run inventory scan on other Windows machines. If you are going to get update inventory from Windows machines, you have to install OcsAgentSetup.exe agent on them.If you have any issue please add a comment blow or send me a email. I could help you later if I might have any idea.OCSNG现在还没有中文的界面,它的代理和服务器端是支持中文的.如果你在一些中文的操作系统上做了清单扫描,扫描的某些信息在Webconsole中查看的结果可能是乱码.这时候,你可以进入浏览器的内码设置,设置成中文后,你会看到正常的中文显示.这说明它是可以支持多语言的.为了在做资产管理的时候对于用户比较方便,我们可以是用gpli项目. GPLI有中文界面,而且能提供流程支持.GPLI的安装和配置手册待续.这个安装手册用英文写,如果给您带了了不便请谅解,您有什么问题的话欢迎给我留言,谢谢观看!
