rhn-channel command not found

[sensahin]

Hello,

We are receiving "rhn-channel command not found" error when we try to install Nagios on RHL.

Do you know how we can solve it?

Best regards
Senol

Hello Senol, try adding the optional software channel so that Nagios XI can install the necessary prerequisites using one of the commands below:

RHEL 6.x

Code: Select all

yum install -y yum-utils
yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-server-optional-rpms

RHEL 7.x

Code: Select all

yum install -y yum-utils
yum-config-manager --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms

You might also try installing the rhn-setup package:
