Updated URL looking copy of old information

[mccrakem]

Hi

URL - https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=555

Was updated on the 8th May, but the data that was there previously helped me to resolve an install issue
I was just on the site this morning and I wanted to take a note of the details that were needed from the page and noticed that the page has been updated and the information that I was looking for is no longer available.

Is there any chance that I can get a copy of the data that was there previously,
During the install process I got the following message

Error: Package: nagiosxi-deps-2014r2.6-1.noarch (/nagiosxi-deps-2014r2.6-1.noarch)
Requires: perl(Net::SMTP::TLS)
Error: Package: nagiosxi-deps-2014r2.6-1.noarch (/nagiosxi-deps-2014r2.6-1.noarch)
Requires: pymssql
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
RESULT=1

and the URL above previously had information on creating a file depending on which OS you were using
I my case I am using Red Hat 6, so the file I had to create was

/etc/yum.repos.d/nagios-6.repo

but its the contents of the file that I am looking for from the page, it also had the details for Red Hat 7 as well so if I can get a copy of that information that would be great
I have searched but I cannot find the details anywhere

Thanks

You can add the repositories with the instructions here
https://repo.nagios.com/?repo=rpm-rhel

One thing to note, you are installing nagiosxi 2014r2.6 ? This is an extremely old version of XI, and I can't even confirm that it will still install correctly.

Thanks Scott

Our image has the earlier version of Nagios as part of its config but after I get that installed I update to the version we are currently running
Which is nagiosxi 5.2.7 which is probably still very old and really should be updated

So to get the earlier version installed I need to create the nagios-6.repo file but the next time I'm doing an install I will install the repositories that you have provided and see how it goes

Thanks

To get the nagios-6.repo you would do the following

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh https://repo.nagios.com/nagios/6/nagios-repo-6-3.el6.noarch.rpm
yum update

Hi Scott

I am going through the install on a nagiosxi server but I still getting the same error even after running the 2 command you suggested

rpm -Uvh https://repo.nagios.com/nagios/6/nagios ... noarch.rpm
yum update

When I try the ./fullinstall I still get the errors

Error: Package: nagiosxi-deps-2014r2.6-1.noarch (/nagiosxi-deps-2014r2.6-1.noarch)
Requires: perl(Net::SMTP::TLS)
Error: Package: nagiosxi-deps-2014r2.6-1.noarch (/nagiosxi-deps-2014r2.6-1.noarch)
Requires: pymssql
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
RESULT=1


The last time I had to create the file /etc/yum.repos.d/nagios-6.repo with the details that were previously on the URL provided
by any chance is there a possibility of getting a copy of the old information

[scottwilkerson]

When you run this it should create that file

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh https://repo.nagios.com/nagios/6/nagios-repo-6-3.el6.noarch.rpm

what do you see if you run this

Code: Select all

yum repolist

all that said, the file looks like this

Code: Select all

[nagios-base]
name=Nagios
baseurl=http://repo.nagios.com/nagios/6/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-NAGIOS-V2
