The OCSInventory looked sufficiently interesting so I installed server, report and agent on my home workstation. My guess is that choosing "Local" writes output files locally instead of sending them to the server for storage. I chose the HTTP option.
"server" and "reports" installed without incident. http://localhost/ocsinventory generates the response - 400 Bad request. - Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. r...@venus:/var/log/apache2# wget http://localhost/ocsinventory --2010-06-19 13:18:06-- http://localhost/ocsinventory Resolving localhost... ::1, 127.0.0.1 Connecting to localhost|::1|:80... failed: Connection refused.
