It appears SQL is already installed on this machine, can you completely remove it and try again?

[hsmith]

Was this system a clean minimal install?

I strongly recommend that you find out if you can use a more modern version of RHEL/CentOS. While we haven't officially ended support for XI on RHEL5/CentOS5, we have seen it cause a lot of problems with upgrades that require extra steps to make our software work.

we still see the error after the completely removing MYSQL.

Its little pain to setup NagiosXI manually. It has lot of dependency and repos issue.
It would be great if all source package in under 1 tar instead of installation from multiple repos.

Finally we got it install on RHEL 6 with proper repos set.

Thanks,
Mahendra

We do have an offline install here: http://repo.nagios.com/

However from this page:

CentOS

Offline server must still have access to CentOS Base Repo (actual or clone) for installation/upgrade

RHEL

Offline server must still have access to RHEL Base & Optional Channel Repo (actual or clone) for installation/upgrade

We have VM templates available in case access to these repos is not available.
