Error in installation

Post by deepshikha20 »

Hi,

I am getting below error while installing the Nagios log server.

ERROR: unable to read system id.
ERROR: your Red Hat installation is not registered or does not have proper entitlements. Please register or enable entitlements at rhn.redhat.com.

My server is not allowed to connect to the internet.

Please advise to skip this step, if possible.

Thanks.

In order to properly register your server with the RHN it will need to be online or you will want to follow an offline doc:

Thanks.

RedHat servers need to be registered with RHN in order to receive updates to software. Since the Nagios installer downloads packages from the repos, it won't be able to do so if you are not registered. From their help page:
Systems must be registered before updates from RHN can be applied

This is a bug that will be fixed in the 2015R1.1 release which is coming really soon. I have attached an updated libinstall.sh file which can be dropped into the extracted install directory and should allow you to install properly on RHEL.

On line 51 of the fullinstall script the following command is executed:

Code: Select all

ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org
If you cannot resolve external addresses then I would:
  • Double check to make sure the timezone and date/time are correct on the server
    Comment out line 5 in the installer
    Run fullinstall again
