Nagios XI installation fails with system id error

Post by sebastian_anthony »

Hi ,
I'm trying to install Nagios XI on RHEL . But installation fails with unable to read system id error.
Unable to locate system id file. Is this system registered?

How to proceed with installation ? Please help

Regards
Sebastian

This is asking if the system is registered under RHN, the RedHat Network. You will need to do so before continuing:

Can you post the whole install.log? It should be located in "/tmp/nagiosxi/".

We modified the 0-repos script by removeing lines from 30-45. Now RHN registration error is not coming up.

Configured few more repos for dependency package installation. Prerequisite script ran well.

Did you get it installed all right then, or is there something else you need us to assist you with at this point?

Prerequsites installation went well. But after Postgresql and MSSQL server startup , it asks for Mysql root password. Unfortunately not accepting 'nagiosxi' password. So I'm stuck with installation.
