Lets try running ./fullinstall again. If we get the same error we are going to have to investigate some files on the system...

the problem pertains to this line in the install log

Code: Select all

error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Permission denied)

It is possible that something else was locking it.

You are installing as root right?

@scottwilkersonran ./fullinstall and got the same error.
Thanks

[scottwilkerson]

You are running this as root correct?

Can I have you post the results when you run

Code: Select all

ls -l /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock

[wyrit]

@scottwilkerson I wasn't running as root. I went ahead and ran as root and got past this error. Thanks. I did come up with a different error:

Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again
ERROR: centos-release-cr RPM was not installed - exiting.

Ok I found the thread http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... ink#p20070 that addressed the Error I mentioned above. Thanks

I have another error that came up while running ./fullinstall

ERROR: Nagios Plugins install appears to have failed - exiting. Missing file = /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping
ERROR: Subcomponent 'nagiosplugins' installation failed - exiting.
Subcomponents installation failed - exiting
RESULT=1

[wyrit]

I browsed to /usr/local/nagios/libexec and noticed that check_ping was not in the folder. How do I get it?

Thanks

It is possible that curl is not installed. Try:

Code: Select all

# yum install -y curl

Then run the installer again.
