Installing Nagios XI latest ver on RHEL7

[ssax]

It looks like this is a custom system, you have webtatic repo on there and that's usually installed when you're trying to upgrade some packages (like php and other packages) outside of the standard RHEL repos.

This part from the logs is especially worrying since we definitely don't support php 7:

Code: Select all

Error: Package: php70w-common-7.0.0-1.w6.x86_64 (webtatic)

Are you sure this is a fresh install?

[bosecorp]

I don't have that package

here is what I have

# rpm -qa | grep php*
phonon-4.6.0-9.el7.x86_64
php-common-5.4.16-21.el7.x86_64
xz-libs-5.1.2-9alpha.el7.x86_64
php-mbstring-5.4.16-21.el7.x86_64
xz-5.1.2-9alpha.el7.x86_64
graphite2-1.2.2-5.el7.x86_64
phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.6.3-3.el7.x86_64

I was able to resolve the prev. dependencies issues. it took me several hours. this installation was not straight forward.


This is the new error

** Ooops, one of many bad things happened:

a) You don't have the GD library installed.
Get it from http://www.boutell.com, compile it and
use either --with-gd-lib=DIR and --with-gd-inc=DIR to specify
its location. You might also have to use --with-z-inc,
--with-z-lib and --with-png-inc, --with-png-lib for gd
versions 1.6 and higher. Check config.log for more
information on the problem.

b) You have the GD library installed, but not the gd.h
header file. Download the source (see above) and use
--with-gd-inc=DIR to specify where the file can be found.

c) You have the library and the header file installed, but
you also have a shared GD library in the same directory.
Remove the shared library files and/or links (e.g.
libgd.so.2.0.0, libgd.so and libgd.so.2). This is especially
likely if you're using a recent (post 1.8.4) version of GD
and didn't configure it with --disable-shared.

d) You have gd library installed and also it's headers, but you are
missing libpng (and headers) or freetype (and headers)
(mrtg does not use freetype, but if your copy of gd is precompiled
against it, you have to install it ...

Consider following the instructions in doc/mrtg-unix-guide.txt

Try installing the required packages by running:

Code: Select all

yum install libmcrypt-devel freetds-devel php-mbstring -y

then rerun the fullinstall. Did this help?

[bosecorp]

it does not work

Try adding the epel repo by running:

Code: Select all

yum install epel-release

then run:

Code: Select all

yum clean all

and rerun the "fullinstall". Did this fix the issue?

[bosecorp]

Nothing. No luck

Can you run the fullinstall on the server again and post the install.log file here so we can review it.
Can you run this as root on the server and post the /tmp/yumlist.txt file?

Code: Select all

yum list installed > /tmp/yumlist.txt

[bosecorp]

same, I have been able to determined that the issue is with MRTG

here is the same error

checking gd.h presence... yes
checking for gd.h... yes

[hsmith]

Is there a particular reason you have both architectures of gd installed on your system?

Try to remove gd.i686 and see if this resolves anything.
