Configuration verification Hangs and never completes

[partners.nagios]

Hi All,
I have setup a new NagiosXI VM running on VMWare Server (yes I converted it). When I run a wizard to add a windows server host, I get to the end and tell the wizard to finish and it hangs on:

Windows Server Monitoring Wizard

Configuration submitted for processing...
Waiting for configuration verification..................................................................................................


I found this document:

http://support.nagios.com/wiki/index.ph ... _Completes


And I tried changing the values in php.ini but no good. I also added a line to /etc/hosts that has my local nagios XI private IP address and it's hostname. Now a note on this, I am connecting to the nagiosxi server using a DNS name that points to a public IP address (not sure if that matters).

In /var/log/messages I am getting a bunch of logs that look like this:

The only thing that I could find online is that it may be a bug with NDOMOD 1.4b9? What am I missing? Another piece of info is that I'm using https (not sure if that matters). Here is my profile information:

Can I have you go to Configure -> Core Config Manager -> Tools -> Write Config Tool

And walk through each step and report the output.

Everything passed except the Check configuration files, below is the error:

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

[scottwilkerson]

Do you have any hosts or services setup? There should be at a minimum localhost setup unless you deleted it...

[partners.nagios]

The localhost is there, but I can't add any other hosts because every time I try to apply the config it hangs. I did try to delete the localhost (just to see if I could apply the config) but it didn't work.

[partners.nagios]

oh wait, when I tried to delete localhost it did remove it from the config file so it is no longer showing up in the web UI

[partners.nagios]

If I look at the nagios_objects table I see localhost and all the other hosts I have tried to add, however, if I check the below database tables (which I think should contain data) they are empty:

DB - Nagios
Table - nagios_hosts

DB - Nagiosql
Table - tbl_host


I did find some forum posts about how this might be a bug with NDOMOD 1.4b9?

[partners.nagios]

I just noticed that I am also getting this error in /etc/httpd/logs/error_log

[client ::1] File does not exist: /var/www/html/nagiosxi

[scottwilkerson]

One problem at a time...

First lets just run a basic wizard to get at least 1 host and 1 service in there...

Run the Generic Network Device
Device Address: localhost
Next
Host Name: localhost
Next
Finish

[partners.nagios]

How am I supposed to do that if the wizard hangs at verification?
