Can I have you run ./fullinstall one more time, if it errors again, could you post the install.log.

Thanks

I noticed your Distro is listed as "oraclelinux"

Is this a clean/fresh machine?

Important: Nagios Enterprises highly recommends and will only support installing Nagios XI on a newly installed, "clean" system. Attempting to install Nagios XI on a pre-existing system with other applications already installed can cause the Nagios XI installation process to fail, critical system components and settings (e.g. database servers) to be modified in a way that negatively affects other applications, and previously installed applications to be automatically upgraded or removed. While installing XI on a system with other applications is possible, it is not recommended due to the possible interactions and complexity of multiple components that are required for Nagios XI to function. If you choose to ignore these warnings, you do so at your own risk.

You may want to look at the following page from the Administrators manual to help your install go a little smoother.
System Requirements

Also, take a look at this:

Hmmm. If this is fresh 6.2, it is possible that curl isn't installed. Lets try

Code: Select all

# yum list curl
If it isn't installed

Code: Select all

yum install curl -y
then you can try the install again.
