package centos-release is not installed

Post by rsanclim »

I have a newly installed Redhat 6 system. The license has been fully registered. I downloaded xi-2011r2.2.tar and started the install. But I get the following error:

nagiosxi]# ./fullinstall
========================
Nagios XI Full Installer
========================
Proceeding with installation...
Checking MySQL credentials...
Stored MySQL password validated.
Running './0-yum'...
Configuring Yum...
package centos-release is not installed
Enabling RPMForge repo...
RESULT=1
===================
INSTALLATION ERROR!
===================
Installation step failed - exiting.
Check for error messages in the install log (install.log).

The script that failed was: './0-yum'

Does anyone know where I went wrong ?

Can you post the "install.log" file? It is in the "/tmp/nagiosxi".

Can you run the following command in terminal and post the output?

Code: Select all

yum list installed | grep curl

Is the Gnome GUI installed on this system?

Yes it is.
During install, I chose many additional packages. I'm thinking I will have to reinstall which is not a big deal.
Once I choose the Base install, are there any additional packages needed ?

No, we actually prefer the base installation package for RHEL, our scripts take care of all of the necessary dependencies. If you're not too far into it I'd try re-installing with the base package of RHEL.

Still no luck. I reinstalled with just the base package and got the same error:
