uninstalling NRPE and want to reinstall

[apancoast]

I am trying to uninstall NRPE. I have followed instructions I found on this site, but when I try to reinstall nothing happens. The install.log states the Install Complete and that everything is already configured and is either skipping or exiting. It is not creating a nagios directory under /etc/local/

Do I need to reboot the server to be able to get this to install again?

First time posting; let me know what information that you need.

Distro info:
Centos
6.3
x86_64

I decided to tar the file back down since I never removed it from the /tmp and ran the ./fullinstall and it fixed my issue.

Hello, @apancoast.
Which version of NRPE are you trying to install?
Did you follow this tutorial? https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... tml#CentOS
I suggest to go through all uninstallation steps one more time. After that make sure that there's no folder Nagios in these pasths:

Code: Select all

 /usr/local/nagios/bin/
/usr/local/nagios/etc/
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/

If there is please manually remove it with rm - R nagios

Also, please remove nrpe installation directory from /tmp/ and redownload NRPE installation .tar.
Finally, run installation script as sudo.
sudo ./fullinstall

Let us know how it goes.
