Nagios XI Updates fail

[tgriep]

Let us know how it works for you.

I did find this link for "How to access Red Hat Subscription Manager (RHSM) through a firewall/proxy"
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/65300
I included it just in case you need to change those settings.

Ok, updated both yum.config & wgetrc with proxy info.
Auto updates still failed. attached output below

It looks like the epel repository isn't installed on your server and one of the packages didn't get installed because of that.
Follow this to install epel on your server.
Login as root and run the following.

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh epel-release-6*.rpm

Then run this to install the missing package.

Code: Select all

yum install perl-Math-Calc-Units -y

If the above works for you, rerun the upgrade and let us know if it works for you.

File is downloaded, but received error when I run :

Code: Select all

 sudo rpm -Uvh epel-release-6*.rpm

You downloaded epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm

Then you tried to install epel-release-6*.rpm

This didn't work because the filename is wrong. it needs the word latest.

[awang]

Yes,you are right and I got that part. So I tried running the following cmd instead, and received this output

Let's try to install it directly from the perl CPAN:

perl -MCPAN -e "install Math::Calc::Units"

You may need to hit Enter to continue if it asks about configuring anything.
