NOTE: This is for Amahi 7 on Fedora 19. Ubuntu has not been tested. Anyone wanting to try it, please make notes here for the Amahi community. Thanks.

Installing GLPI on Amahi

Amahi has an app to install GLPI on your server. You can login to your Amahi Dashboard and choose it from the list of Apps.

See GLPI for more details

Fusioninventory Plugin for GLPI

Prerequisites

Downloaded the packages Fusioninventory Fusioninventory


NOTE: Be sure to choose plugin versions that are compatible with your version of GLPI.

NOTE: Fusionintentory for GLPI 0.83.* or lower will need dependencies php-soap, php-xmlrpc and Webservices and the four separate packages for Fusioninventory are in the "metapackages" download for your version of GLPI. Fusioninventory will have four separate plugins to install and activate. GLPI version 0.84.* does not need php-soap, php-xmlrpc or Webservices. There is only one package for Fusioninventory which contains everything you need.

Unpack them into the /var/hda/web-apps/glpi/html/plugins directory. (Be sure to read the directions for each of the plugins. Some directories in the plugins require full read/write access for the installation of the plugin.)

Log into GLPI with the GLPI root user

Installing and Enabling Fusioninventory

Moving the Fusioninventory Directory
Extract the Fusioninventory for GLPI directory. Be sure the individual files stay in the Fusioninventory folder. Copy the entire folder into the GLPI Plugins directory cp -R whereever-you-extrated-file/fusioninventory /var/hda/web-apps/glpi/html/plugins


Installing the Plugins
Within GLPI, go to "Setup > Plugins."
In the table that presents itself you should see the Fusioninventory plugin. To install, update or enable any plugin, one clicks on "install," "update," or "enable" in the table across from the plugin you want to activate in GLPI. The last step is to "enable" the plugin. Until this is done the plugin is not available. Once this is done, you will see Fusioninventory listed on the GLPI menu under "Plugins."



The All-Important URL
Go to Plugins > Fusioninventory > Setup in the GLPI menu and put the long url address for an Amahi app with the directory additions needed. See the example below: 

 http://glpi.AAAA.com/ ("AAAA" being the local domain.)

Connecting to the Agents
A different url goes in each agent. 

 http://glpi.AAAA.com/plugins/fusioninventory/front/plugin_fusioninventory.communication.php ("AAAA" being the local domain.)

I had the agent do a "force inventory" and its information showed up in the Inventory > Computers screen of GLPI. To do a "force inventory" on a client computer, go to http://localhost:62354 and click on the "force inventory" link.

Done.
