OCS Inventory ERROR: can't write in directory (on dbconfig.inc.php)

1. Find the correct path for the dbconfig.inc.php - use this command

cd
cd ..
find / -name dbconfig.inc.php

Ok for me,it will return the path here :-

/usr/share/ocsinventory-server/ocsreports/dbconfig.inc.php

After that u just use this command to change it right

cd /usr/share/ocsinventory-server/ocsreports/
chmod 666 dbconfig.inc.php

Ok .. Please try and give the feedback here :

Thank You

MySQL

Install MySQL Server

sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient15-dev

MySQL initially only allows connections from the localhost (127.0.0.1). We’ll need to remove that restriction if you wish to make it accessible to everyone on the internet. Open the file /etc/mysql/my.cnf

sudo vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Find the line bind-address = 127.0.0.1 and comment it out then save the file.
MySQL comes with no root password as default. This is a huge security risk. You’ll need to set one. So that the local computer gets root access as well, you’ll need to set a password for that too. The local-machine-name is the name of the computer you’re working on.

mysqladmin -u root password newpassword
mysqladmin -h root@local-machine-name -u root -p password newpassword
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart

MySQL for Apache HTTP Server

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql phpmyadmin

To get PHP to work with MySQL, open the php.ini file

sudo vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

You’ll need to uncomment the “;extension=mysql.so” line so that it looks like this

extension=mysql.so

Restart Apache

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Get Ride Patches XP

There is a lot of cracks or patches or fixes that aims to bypass or skip Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) validation process, or trick the WGA validation results to be always genuine. However, these workarounds do not address the fundamental issue of the problem - that’s the product CD key or volume license key (VLK) registered in your copy of Windows XP, Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE) and Windows Server 2003 is invalid or has been blocked or banned by Microsoft. The following ultimate WGA Patcher Permanent Kit with cracks and procedures all-in-one package will convert and transform the pirated Windows operating system into genuine and legitimate OS when validate by Microsoft’s WGA, by changing the serial number, product key or VLK of the Windows with a valid CD key, and when necessary, apply patch.

1. Download WGA Patcher Permanent Kit (WPatcherP5575987.zip) (link removed due to complaint from Microsoft) or GenuineWindowsPatcher.zip (download removed due to complaint from Microsoft) which contains Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder v1.51 (keyfinder.exe), Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostics Tool 1.5.0717.0 (MGADiag.exe), wga-hosts-fix 0.1 (wga-fix.exe), and Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 VLK key generator (MSKey.exe or Windows XP Keygen.exe).
2. Extract the zip file.
3. Run the Windows XP/2003 key generator (MSKey.exe or Windows XP Keygen.exe).
4. In the key generator, under the Product Family, select “Windows XP Pro. VLK”, and click the “Generate” button to generate a valid and genuine serial key for Windows XP (choose Windows Server 2003 VLK for Windows 2003). If key generator doesn’t work, try to find a product key on web.
5. Note down the product key or serial that is generated (can leave the program opens). The idea is to get VLK key that yet to be blocked or unknown to Microsoft.
6. Execute Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder (keyfinder.exe). If you having problem with Keyfinder, you can use any other Windows key changer listed here, such as RockXP and KeyFinder Thing.
7. Once launched, Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder will display the existing Windows and Office product key in the system. Select “Microsoft Windows” tab (open by default), and click on Options menu, and then select “Change Windows Key”.
8. In the Change Microsoft Windows XP Key window, key in the product key or serial number generated from the keygen program in the boxes.
9. Click on Change button when done.
10. Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder will use Microsoft’s WMI script to change the product key of Windows XP. Follow on screen instruction to continue.
11. Run wga-fix.exe program. Click on Yes button on the ‘wga-host-fix 0.1 window’ to redirect WGA authorization and validation request to loopback address (127.0.0.1). Alternatively, open Command Prompt, and navigate to \Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ directory, edit the Hosts file, and add in the following entry to the end of the file:127.0.0.1 mpa.one.microsoft.com
12. Uninstall or delete any cracked or patched LegitControlCheck.dll, WgaTray.exe and WgaLogon.dll located in \Windows\System32 folder. You may also need to delete “Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool” located in C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files\ folder.
13. Go to Windows (Microsoft) Updates or Microsoft Download Center to download updates or applications in which require validation. Install WGA Validation Tool ActiveX when prompted. (Note: If you’re having problem to validate Windows with MGADiag.exe in later process, you still skip previous and this step first or apply the patched LegitCheckControl.dll again, which means leave the patch and crack intact, and only come back to delete any crack or patch, and install original WGA validation tool later. This especially true if you have LegitCheckControl.dll 1.5.723.1 with MGDIAG.exe 1.5.0717.0)
14. Run the Microsoft Microsoft Genuine Validation Diagnostic Tool (MGADiag.exe), and click on Continue button to proceed.
15. Click on OK when MGADiag finishes processing and displays your genuine status. The status should show GENUINE, and not NOT ACTIVATED.

Step 6 - 10 can also be done without using any hacker tool, by using Activation Wizard following official tutorial from Microsoft on how to change the Volume Licensing product key on a computer that is running Windows XP SP1 and later versions of Windows XP detailed as below.

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. In the left pane, locate and then click the following registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current Version\WPAEvents
4. In the right pane, right-click OOBETimer, and then click Modify.
5. Change at least one digit of this value to deactivate Windows.
6. Click Start, and then click Run.
7. In the Open box, type the following command, and then click OK.%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a
8. Click Yes, I want to telephone a customer service representative to activate Windows, and then click Next.
9. Click Change Product key.
10. Type the new product key in the New key boxes, and then click Update. If you are returned to the previous window, click Remind me later, and then restart the computer.
11. Repeat steps 6 to verify that Windows is activated. You receive the following message:Windows is already activated. Click OK to exit.

Shortcut to Genuine Windows without Any Crack
Unable to download the crack? Or afraid that the cracks of keygen and key changer contains virus or trojan? You can simply add in the entry in step 11 (i.e. 127.0.0.1 mpa.one.microsoft.com) into your Hosts file if VLK key of your Windows installation has PID within the range of -640 to -641 or any other volume license product key that is not blocked. You can try it anyway no matter what product key you used to see if it working with existing CD key without changing the key.
Note: This shortcut by using wga-fix.exe or manually editing the Hosts file should works out of the box immediately on Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE) 2005 and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, and by luck on Windows XP Home, XP Professional and Windows 2003.

1. Simply remove and delete the crack or patch that has been applied in \Windows\System32 (LegitCheckControl.dll, WgaLogon.dll, WgaTray.exe) or \Documents and Settings\All users\Application Data (sub-folders “Windows Genuine Advantage” and “Office Genuine Advantage”)
2. Go to Windows (Microsoft) Updates or Microsoft Download Center to access Windows updates or download applications that require validation. Install WGA Validation Tool ActiveX when prompted.
3. Add in the “127.0.0.1 mpa.one.microsoft.com” to the Hosts file located in \Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ folder. Or alternatively, just execute wga-fix.exe (download link removed due to complaint from Microsoft) contained in the WGA crack archive package.
4. Run MGADiag.exe to validate the Windows is genuine.

After applying this trick or hack, Microsoft WGA Validation Tool will treat the Windows as genuine, as in you legally purchase and buy the Windows OS. Users can access to Windows Updates or Microsoft Updates, download WGA validation required software products from Microsoft Download Center such as as Windows Defender, WMP11, IE7, DirectX and etc, and also to install these programs with proper validation without any cracks. This hack or trick should works on Windows XP, Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE), and even Windows Server 2003, and users can pick any browsers they like, including IE6, IE7, Firefox, Netscape or web browser powerd by IE such as MSN Explorer or AOL Explorer.
If you still having problem with this method, try out other WGA bypass methods.

Install dansguardian, tinyproxy, and firehol

Original post from http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1222237&postcount=21

Install dansguardian, tinyproxy, and firehol

Code:

sudo apt-get install dansguardian tinyproxy firehol

Edit /etc/dansguardian/dansguardian.conf...

Code:

sudo nano -w /etc/dansguardian/dansguardian.conf

and leave everything at default. You will just need to comment out the UNCONFIGURED line

Code:

# Comment this line out once you have modified this file to suit your needs
#UNCONFIGURED

Next, you will need to edit the tinyproxy.conf

Code:

sudo nano -w /etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf

and make the following changes

Code:

##
## tinyproxy.conf -- tinyproxy daemon configuration file
##

#
# Name of the user the tinyproxy daemon should switch to after the port
# has been bound.
#
User nobody
Group nogroup

#
# Port to listen on.
#
#Port 8888
Port 3128

Now the last file to be edited is /etc/firehol/firehol.conf

Code:

sudo nano -w /etc/firehol/firehol.conf

and here is my entire firehol.conf file

Code:

#
# $Id: client-all.conf,v 1.2 2002/12/31 15:44:34 ktsaou Exp $
#
# This configuration file will allow all requests originating from the
# local machine to be send through all network interfaces.
#
# No requests are allowed to come from the network. The host will be
# completely stealthed! It will not respond to anything, and it will
# not be pingable, although it will be able to originate anything
# (even pings to other hosts).
#

version 5
iptables -t filter -I OUTPUT -d 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --dport 3128 -m owner ! --uid-owner dansguardian -j DROP
transparent_squid 8080 "nobody root"

# Accept all client traffic on any interface
interface any world
 policy drop
 protection strong
 client all accept

Then restart the services

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/dansguardian restart
sudo /etc/init.d/tinyproxy restart
sudo /etc/init.d/firehol restart

You should now have a working internet filter without any changes being made to the proxy settings.

How to: Install Network Monitoring Tool (Nagios+Nagmin+Webmin+Mysql+Apache2+RRDTool+NMAP) on OpenSUSE 10.2

These are step by step how to setup network monitoring tool on OpenSUSE 10.2:

Install MySql, RRDTool, NMAP and Apache2:
1. Open the YaST software management. Select package mysql, mysql-client, mysql-shared, rrdtool, nmap and apache2. (*Accept all dependencies)
2. After install all package run this command mysqladmin -u root password "yourpassword"
3. Start mysql by run this command rcmysql start
4. Make this service automatically start after reboot by type chkconfig mysql on
5. Start apache2 by typing rcapache2 start
6. Make apache2 auto start after reboot by typing chkconfig apache2 on

Install Webmin:1. Download webmin from webmin.com. I recommend you to download the noarch package for support all machine architecture. Save it, such as at your desktop.
2. Go to your desktop and type rpm -Uvh webmin_name
3. Start webmin by typing /etc/init.d/webmin start
4. Log in to webmin interface by opening your browser and type https://localhost:10000

Install Nagios:
1. Open YaST and select libcrypt, perl-Net-SNMP, fping, postgresql-libs, radiusclient, apache2, gd, and perl-URI.
2. Download nagios package (nagios-2.5-24.i586.rpm, nagios-nrpe-2.5.2-28.i586.rpm , nagios-nsca-2.5-39.i586.rpm , nagios-plugins-1.4.5-5.i586.rpm , nagios-plugins-extras-1.4.5-5.i586.rpm , nagios-plugins-sap-ccms-0.7.3-38.i586.rpm and nagios-www-2.5-24.i586.rpm )
at http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/.
I recommend use nagios version 2.5 because most stable and many package are supported.
3. Install all these packages by typing rpm -Uvh nagios*.rpm
4. Start nagios by typing rcnagios start
5. Make nagios autostart after reboot by type chkconfig nagios on
6. Check your nagios by typing http://localhost/nagios/ on your browser (firefox etc)

Install Nagmin:
Nagmin is a webmin module. To install:
1. Download nagmin from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=77010
I recommend you to download nagmin-2.1.0.tar.gz . It is because easy to install by a setup script. Other nagmin doesn't have a setup script.
2. Extract the nagmin by typing tar xvzf yournagminname .
3. Go to the nagmin folder and type ./setup to intall. Follow this guide

Database name to use or create : [Enter]
Nagios Root directory : /etc/nagios [Enter]
Nagios ETC directory : /etc/nagios [Enter]
Nagmin root directory : [Enter]
Nagios Configuration File: : [Enter]
CGI Configuration File: : [Enter]
Entries will be displayed for accuracy, select Y to continue.
Script will continue with its process.
Select N to question for viewing the SQL file
Select Y to other question

4. Now acces webmin and install the Nagmin plugin

Configure Nagmin setting:
Configure Nagmin Nagios by clicking Module Config in webmin. Change the configuration to the following value:
Nagios BIN directory /usr/bin
Nagios ETC directory /etc/nagios
Nagios LIBEXEC directory /usr/lib/nagios/plugins
5. Open your terminal and type vi /etc/nagios/cgi.cfg
find use_authentication=1; chage 1 to 0
find default_user_name = user, chage the user by deamon
6. Save and quit.
7. Now install NagMin module for webmin. To install go to Webmin --> Webmin Configuration --> Webmin Modules. Install the nagmin module from the nagmin folder that you extract before. The file name is look like nagmin-2.x.x.wbm

The Error1. (Error: version issue):
Some error found when your login webmin --> Server --> nagMIN Network Monitoring.
Error message:The MySQL client program /usr/bin/mysql does not appear to be the correct version. Webmin only supports MySQL versions 3 and above.

The command /usr/bin/mysql -V returned :

/usr/bin/mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.22, for redhat-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 5.0

Suggested fix:open terminal and type vi /usr/libexec/webmin/nagmin/index.cgi
find "distrib" and add "| 5" after 4 at same line
save and quit the vi.

2. error found when your login webmin --> Server --> nagMIN Network Monitoring --> in column System Databases --> nagios

error message:

"Error - Perl execution failed
Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at /path/to/mysql.pm line 113"

Suggested fix:

Location mysql.pm on Suse /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i586-linux-thread-multi/DBD/mysql.pm
At around line 109 of mysql.pm:

------------------------------------
 # Avoid warnings for undefined values
 $username ||= '';
 $password ||= '';

 # create a 'blank' dbh
 my($this, $privateAttrHash) = (undef, $attrhash);
 $privateAttrHash = { %$privateAttrHash,
'Name' => $dsn,
'user' => $username,
'password' => $password
 };
-------------------------------------

Needs to be changed to

-------------------------------------
# Avoid warnings for undefined values
 $username ||= '';
 $password ||= '';
 $attrhash ||= {};

 # create a 'blank' dbh
 my($this, $privateAttrHash) = (undef, $attrhash);
 $privateAttrHash = { %$privateAttrHash,
'Name' => $dsn,
'user' => $username,
'password' => $password
 };

Finish.
