VM upgrade of CentOS

[wat_006]

Hi all,
I'm trying to find a way to upgrade the VM of NagiosXI that's available for download for trial. Is there a way to upgrade this VM to a more recent version of CentOS? If I recall the VMs available for download are running CentOS 6.x. I believe 7 is the most current version. Also looking for recommendations on patching/updating PHP and Apache. I'm not very familiar with CentOS

Thanks

Nothing that would be easy at all.

If I recall the VMs available for download are running CentOS 6.x.

They are.

I believe 7 is the most current version.

It is. (7.2, I believe)

Also looking for recommendations on patching/updating PHP and Apache.

What exactly are you looking to do?

If you're looking to install on Centos 7, then I recommend just doing a source install yourself on a minimal install. Our OVA is built with Centos 6 still for stability reasons. Take a look at this link for instructions - https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ctions.pdf

As for PHP / Apache, what are you looking to accomplish?

Thank you all for the replies.

rkennedy I'm trying to find a way to patch PHP and Apache. Perhaps upgrading to Centos 7 would do the trick?

It really depends on what you're trying to 'patch'. Keep in mind, Nagios expects a pretty unmodified system in regards to PHP / Apache. You could potentially break it depending on the changes you make.

I believe that XI is not supported on Apache 2.4+ or PHP 5.6+ currently. You'll need to keep that in mind too.
