 +
If you want to save it directly on your SME Server, you can give these commands at the prompt:
 +
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/sgomez/contribs/inventory/dependencies/ocs_perl_deps.tar.gz

Other Perl dependencies have been packaged in one file for easy downloading. Simply uncompress the tarball and install RPMs using yum:
  yum localinstall ./perl-deps-ocs/*.rpm
+
  tar -xzf ./ocs_perl_deps.tar.gz
Then you can install OCS with the following command

+
    DB parameter  |    Options  | Default | Explanation
  config setprop glpi DbPassword "my new password"
+
  # HTTPS          | on/off      | on      | enable/disable https mode
Then you should apply modifications by typing the following at a Linux prompt:
+
  # PublicAccess    | local/global | local  | Accessibility of web interface
  signal-event ocs-update
+
# InventoryAccess | local/global | global  | Accessibility of OCS Server (to receive inventories)
signal-event glpi-update
+
# InventoryDelay  | >1          | 600    | Time to wait (sec) to avoid server overload (Agent cron)
You could also apply DbPassword modifications by typing the following at a Linux prompt (but why would you?)
+
 
signal-event post-upgrade
+
After any change to OCS or GLPI configuration, you should apply modifications by typing the following at the prompt:
signal-event reboot

+
It will expand and restart needed templates and services in one command!
