The script that failed was ./3-dbservers

@andrewatmacys, Can you reinstall the DB now and see if you can start it?

yum install MariaDB mariadb-server

service mariadb start
mysql

Also, it looks like your optional repos have expired metadata. Please run:

yum clean all
yum update

And see if exclamation points before the repos would go away.

[andrewatmacys]

Looks like mariadb is running now, can you clarify what you mean with the MySQL below the start mariadb command? Sorry.

Also, after cleaning and updating the repos I still have exclamations.

However, the install is proceeding, so that fixed that problem!

[andrewatmacys]

It was going well, until it didn't! haha

It did a lot of stuff, but then I got hit with this:

The script that failed was: './D-chkconfigalldaemons'

[npolovenko]

@andrewatmacys, Can you post the whole install.log again?
Also, you should run this command to allow nagios to connect to the database with familiar credentials:

mysqladmin --user=root password "nagiosxi"

[andrewatmacys]

I just PM'd the install.log. I'll run that command as well.

On running the command I got an access denied for user root@localhost. I'll post the full error here:

[root@mdc2vrs7867f0 nagiosxi]# mysqladmin --user=root password "nagiosxi"
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

Did I run this incorrectly?

[npolovenko]

@andrewatmacys, The command looks right. Perhaps the installation script already set the MySQL password for you. Can you try to sign in to MySQL like this:

mysql -u root -pnagiosxi

Can you run the fullinstall script one more time with -x and that should show us a more detailed info about the error:

./fullinstall -x | tee -a /tmp/support3.txt

Also, please run the following two commands and then upload the support1.txt, support3.txt and support2.txt files.

systemctl > /tmp/support1.txt

ps -ef > /tmp/support2.txt

[andrewatmacys]

Unfortunately I got an error Unknown option: -x, possibly not available on 5.4.0?

Anyway, I will upload support1.txt and support2.txt

[npolovenko]

@andrewatmacys, We found some MySQL errors in your install log. My recommendation is to start with a clean server, activate redhat and start the installation all over. Bu this time please install the mariadb before installing XI and make sure to change the root password to nagiosxi. You need to be able to sign in to MySQL with
mysql -u root -pnagiosxi

[andrewatmacys]

Sorry, I meant to say I was able to log in using your command

mysql -u root -pnagiosxi.

Does that change anything?

[npolovenko]

@andrewatmacys, I see. No, you should still start from a clean system and install mariadb beforehand, change the root password with the command I gave you and make sure you can sign in with mysql -u root -pnagiosxi before installing XI.

Also, when you run the installation try:

bash -x fullinstall | tee -a /tmp/support.txt
