Hi, Angeloma,

G’day to you. I managed to installed ocs inventory. As for your article, if possible, do update on the database. Refer to the db, do mention on the create user and grant privileges.

I need to search google on the mariadb article. Then i be able to login ocs mysql.

Hope you be able to update on this details.

Thanks and GOD BLESS.

hi, no luck.
FYI, I have reinstall the Ubuntu 18 and setup by following your guide, is missing php mbstring.
Another error i have facing is the database setup having error.

ERROR: Can’t connect to MySQL. Please enter a valid login/password. (host=localhost login=ocs password=ocs)
ERROR: MySql connection problem 1698
Access denied for user ‘ocs’@’localhost’

Previously i have follow all the instruction to create users and also provide privilege, still failed.

Please advise, thanks and appreciate.
