Hello, @SysErrors. It is supposed to ask you which installation option you'd like to choose and allow you type in the number. If you just press Enter without typing anything the default option will get selected (#1). If this doesn't work you may modify the 1-prereqs script to default with option number 2 instead.

Find this line:

read -p "Which DB server would you like to use? [1]: " mysql_res

And replace it with:

read -p "Which DB server would you like to use? [2]: " mysql_res

In the file './1-prereqs' I changed the line you specified. But after the installation, it returns the value 1 again and produces the same error as before.

[SysErrors]

My mistake. I used the wrong command after the change.
I`m use "curl https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/install.sh | sh"
And it was necessary to use "./fullinstall"
After that, I was asked to choose 1/2 and the installation went on.

But after I had such a mistake.

Since the installation reported that the database was already created, I decided to delete it and install it on a new one. But after that I had the following problem.

@SysErrors, I wonder why you already had the Nagios xi database. Did you used to have another XI on that same system? I highly recommend wiping the whole system instead and installing Nagios XI from a clean state. We also have VMWare images on the website that you can use right out of the box.
