Upgrading XI without an internet connection

[cwscribner]

Hi all.

Is there a way to upgrade nagiosxi without an internet connection or via commandline? The nagios server I'm connecting to is through a VPN so I have no browser internet access, therefore, when I click the upgrade link in the XI interface nothing happens. Is there a command I can issue, or some upgrade scripts that I can run?

You can try this command to download the source from the command line, and then follow the upgrade instructions like normal:

Code: Select all

wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/xi-latest.tar.gz

Ah, so basically I can redo these instructions to upgrade? What's the best method for backing up my configuration files? Is there a way to do a backup via the XI interface?

These instructions will be easier than redoing a manual install, and they also include how to back up your configuration.

So here's something interesting....

I tried to use the aforementioned wget command to grab the latest version of XI and I get a 403: Forbidden error. Any idea why?

It may be due to the 1.4 release being removed. Try the 1.5 developer tarball:

Or the 1.3 release tarball:
