starting nagios xi web infterface

Post by twingard51 »

After using the system-config-tui utility to bring my new VM host online so it is pingable, I am unable to access the web page to complete the setup and initialization. Httpd running, mysql running , and nagios running. I believe I will be okay if I can get to the web page

That's the kernel version. Please run the following command and show us the output:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/*release*

more on my problem with the web site...looking at the http.conf , shouldn't it be configured to listen to requests on a specific ipaddress, such as the one I assigned to the device. The ipaddress is reachable and I can reach other hosts. Also at some should I install VMtools and change to the VMadapter for the network device.

The default listens on *:80 which listens on all IP addresses and is recommended unless you have multiple NICs and a reason to not listen on other interfaces.

As long as you have network connectivity you're fine, you're not required to install vmtools.

Please post the output of the following:

Code: Select all

sestatus

Code: Select all

iptables -L

Could you temporarily disable your firewall to ensure that this isn't a firewall problem, or is that not an option?

Code: Select all

service iptables stop
Access the IP address. Example:

Code: Select all

http://192.168.1.1/nagiosxi
https://192.168.1.1/nagiosxi
Ensure that you can ping your host:

Code: Select all

ping 192.168.1.1
Turn iptables back on:

Code: Select all

service iptables start
Please let us know if that works for you. Thank you!
