Nagios XI installation error

[JakeHatMacys]

I think this is a new one for me:

Error when installing Nagios:

Any work around for this?

Are you installing in an offline environment?
Is your copy of RHEL registered?

This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.

Is the "Optional" channel enabled?

I have the optional package installed:

Code: Select all

[root@esu2v237 nagiosxi]# rhn-channel -l
macys-clone-rhel-x86_64-server-6.3
macys-clone-rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6
macys-clone-rhel-x86_64-server-supplementary-6
macys-clone-rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-6
[root@esu2v237 nagiosxi]#

I'm not sure if that satisfies the needs.

I have the optional package installed:

Alright.

I'm not sure if that satisfies the needs.

Well, the installer still needs to be able to fetch packages from the repo. Does this server have access to the internet?

I got it opened to http://assets.nagios.com for wget.... do you have a list of domains the install needs access to for a complete an installation?

You machine needs to have access to the epel repo.

assets.nagios.com is the only one, other than making sure your server has access to the RHEl repos (like epel). . .
