[avandemore]

Run these commands:

Code: Select all

# cd /tmp
# rm -rf nagiosxi
# tar xzf xi-5.3.1.tar.gz
# cd nagiosxi
# ./upgrade

Please report the results.

ok so i did what you asked and got this:

Code: Select all

Done!
Dashlets installed/updated OK
Attempting to read global hard/soft nofile limits failed. Check /etc/security/limits.conf and try again!

Guys, we are about to migrate our users to this server, so this is kind of critical, can I please set up a session to get this resolved?

Comment out line 839 - 840 in the upgrade script with a '#" and rerun the upgrade. Lines should contain the following text:

# Increase open file limits for switch wizard changes
./subcomponents/mrtg/increase_open_file_limits.sh

Please report the result.

Well I guess that last line did the trick! thanks man!

Great, glad we were able to get that resolved. Hopefully this particular issue with never be an issue for you again. Are we good to lock this thread?

[benhank]

yep lock it up bro!

Thanks. FYI, much of what we had to go through here was due to some previous upgrade glitches. On a system say 5.2.9 was never attempted an upgrade to 5.3.X then a brand new upgrade shouldn't run into issues.
