Install Issue

[sjarman]

I've just downloaded and converted the VM version of Nagios XI into an ESX cluster. The box boots up fine and gives me a login screen.

At the top though, it currently says "Access Nagios XI at http://" with no address.

After logging in, I completed the root password change via passwd.

When I run the following command though - which comes from the doco -

mysqladm -u root -p'nagiosxi' password whatever

I get an error:

mysqladmin:connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!

If I try:

ps -ef|grep -i mysql

I get no result.

That is weird that msqld didn't start.

Did you try to restart it?

Code: Select all

service mysqld start

Did you happen to look in the log to see if you could see anything?

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/messages
