I think no one have installed it yet, but you can try any ticketing system available for CentOS :slight_smile:

@jgjimenezs may help here with OTRS
once @JOduMonT suggested https://www.alienvault.com/products/ossim
or OsTicket by @ironsky

You can try OsTicket :smile:

although I didn’t installed on my NS because my company wants it to be accessible on the internet.

I can use DDNS about that but they but a domai for the OsTicket alone :slight_smile:

I have tried osTicket on NS 6.7 and worked.
Like any other application which works on CentOS 6.7. :slight_smile:
It would be interesting to install osTicket from Software Center and integrate in NS x.x … :wink:

Do you have some notes? We can start off with that!

I found “How to …” with Google.

I followed and inspired from this 3 articles and I have succeeded! :sweat:
If I remember well there are some mistakes, but if I have succeeded, any of you will do! :grinning:

How to install osTicket v1.9.12 on NS7a3

This how to was realized in the following conditions:

  1. NS7a3 installed as VM (Oracle VM VirtualBox).
  2. Logged to NS7a3 through WebUI (https://192.168.0.17:980/en-US/Dashboard).
  3. NS7a3 up to date.
  4. No modules/packages installed on NS7a3 Administration -> Software center -> Installed.
  5. Logged to NS7a3 through PuTTY SSH Client (192.168.0.17:2244).
  6. Below are shown only the relevant commands.

I. Prepare NS7a3 for installing osTicket v1.9.12:

  1. From NS7a3 Web UI, go to Administration -> Software center -> Available -> Base system:

a. select “MariaDB (MySQL) server” module
b. select “Web server” module
c. Press “ADD” -> “APLLY CHANGES” and wait for finishing modules installation: “Operation completed successfully”

2 Install “Unzip”:

a. # yum install unzip

II. Prepare MariaDB (MySQL):

  1. Reset MariaDB (MySQL) root password:

a. # systemctl stop mysqld
b. # mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
c. # mysql -u root
d. > use mysql;
e. > update user SET PASSWORD=PASSWORD(“your_new_password”) WHERE USER=‘root’;
f. > flush privileges;
g. > exit
h. # reboot
(should be “systemctl start mysqld” but after a few seconds, the “mysqld (MySQL database)” service goes to “Stopped”; the reboot was the only way that I knew, to move forward).

2 Secure MariaDB (MySQL) installation:

a. # mysql_secure_installation

Change the root password? [Y/n] n
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y

3 Create osTicket database (for security reasons, replace the database name, user and password):

a. # mysql -u root -p
b. > create database osticket_db;
c. > create user ‘osticket’@‘localhost’ identified by ‘Pas$w0rd’;
d. > grant all privileges on osticket_db.* to ‘osticket’@‘localhost’;
e. > flush privileges;
f. > exit

III. Prepare PHP:

yum install php-mysql php-fpm php-gd php-imap php-mbstring

systemctl restart httpd

IV. Prepare osTicket Setup:

  1. mkdir /var/www/html/support

  2. cd /tmp

  3. wget http://osticket.com/sites/default/files/download/osTicket-v1.9.12.zip

  4. unzip osTicket-v1.9.12.zip

  5. ln -s /upload /var/www/html/support

  6. cp -rvf /tmp/upload/* /var/www/html/support/

  7. chown apache: -R /var/www/html/support

  8. systemctl restart httpd

  9. cd /var/www/html/support/include

  10. cp ost-sampleconfig.php ost-config.php

  11. chmod 0666 ost-config.php

V. Setup osTicket

  1. From browser, go to https://192.168.0.17/support/setup/
  2. Follow the instructions to setup osTicket
  3. chmod 0644 ost-config.php

  4. From browser, go to https://192.168.0.17/support/scp

VI. Delete osTicket “setup” directory after the osTicket setup has finished:

  1. cd /var/www/html/support

  2. rm -rf setup

  3. Reload https://192.168.0.17/support/scp

That’s it!

Anyone who wants to improve this tutorial is encouraged to do so!

PS

I just finished this how-to and when I entered on site (https://192.168.0.17/support/scp) I saw that is an update available to version 1.9.14.

So, on step IV.3, you can replace “/osTicket-v1.9.12.zip” with “/osTicket-v1.9.14.zip” to install the last stable version.
I will try to find how to make upgrade and I will make another how-to regarding “Upgrade”.
