Initial Install httpd error

[joedirt]

Distro: CentOS 5.6 (Final) i386
Manual Install w/Gnome installed

Currently on the prereqs install of the XI install on my server and I am getting the error " Prerequisite program 'httpd' not found! " Though when I check the system I can verify that it is already installed. Might this version of CentOS not be supported? Had some issues with the yum install portion too that I was able to resolve.

I am going to try to run the install script on CentOS 5.6 (Installation on CentOS 5.5 usually goes pretty smoothly). I will get back to you as soon as I identify the problem. Meanwhile, you can try to reinstall httpd by running: "yum install httpd" and then "service httpd status" (to verify that the service is running).

Thank you for the quick reply. The service for httpd was stopped but had already been installed saying "Package httpd-2.2.3-45.el5.centos.1.i386 already installed and latest version; nothing to do". I am retrying the ./1-prereqs with the service started.

Just tried the install with the httpd service running. No go. still errors out with " ERROR: Prerequisite program 'httpd' not found! ".

Try doing a `killall httpd && service httpd start`.

I did the killall command and still no go. I see on initial execution of the ./1-prereqs script it says about 20 responses down "httpd is already installed and latest version"

it seems to go through most of the script without issue, loading all the perl installs and whatnot. Though since I have ran this script a few times it is saying "....already installed and latest version. Nothing to do." as to be expected.

at the end of the script is where I get my error.

I think that there was a problem with the install script that has since been fixed. I was able to duplicate your problem on Friday and another member of the team was having trouble at the exact same portion of the script. It has since been changed and we have tested it to work on CentOS 5.6 i386 distro.

Can you redownload the manual install at http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... est.tar.gz and give that a go?

[joedirt]

I re-downloaded that and tried it again. Same issue occurred. So I finally found the old repositories for CentOs 5.5 and re-installed. Ran through the installation instructions and with 5.5 and installed flawlessly. Thanks for the help. On with the configuration!

Right on joe, configure on!
