Now how i will get the reports automatically in the server I am complexed. When I run the windows client agent in the widow's client machine in the same subnet and without proxy and with the "test" option the log file says the error as "Could not connect to UPD : error code 404" also in the mac machine when i run the mac client agent it says the error messages as [ERROR] Error contacting communication server [http://10.10.1.41/ocsinventory]. Really I am hanged up here, my confusion is why the client machines are trying to connect the communication server as [http://10.10.1.41/ocsinventory] I did not find any directory called "ocsinventory" in the server. Please suggest me how I will solve this issue. Is there anything I am missing in the client side or server side..? or is it that I am misunderstood the concept and not getting the right path...? please help .... ashwin patil Sir, I was able install the communication and management server successfully and everything is fine up to here.

Then rerun the install script from the webpage. That should work. In the web dir (Were ocsreports folder is) you can creat a file called dbconfig.inc.php and chmod it to 666.

First of all I've tried to make a local test with no results (my machine doesn't appear in the computers browsing). If I force the agent make de .ocs file and I import it it works but not the autoreporting. If you could help me.... For example, if I've this IP: 100.15.1.25, the network configuration (server side) will be: net adress: 100.15.1.0 mask: 255.255.255.0 And in the client side: server adress = 100.15.1.25 port = 80 no proxy = False Any suggestion?
