Tremendous problems installing Nagios XI on RHEL 7.5 Server

[systempuppet]

May be subscription issue, escalating internally.

I need to mention that for some reason your install got way past where it should have already failed becaise the prerequisites were not able to be installed.

Once you get it sorted out, you are going to have to delete the nagiosxi installation folder and start over as some things have not installed correctly

[systempuppet]

I nuked the entire folder, and on a clean reinstall it fails here.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

These are part of the epel repository. Can you edit /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo and set

Code: Select all

enabled=1

under this section

Code: Select all

[epel]

then try the ./fullinstall again

I have no idea why this is getting forced disabled

[systempuppet]

109 Packages to install, and no errors so far.

I can actually get to the http login/setup page, but is this a failed install?

the install isn't complete but almost.

you need to add the following to /etc/hosts

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

then run ./fullinstall again

[systempuppet]

Success.

Is it normally this painful on RHEL?

[scottwilkerson]

No but there were clearly some things that were not defaults on this install..

It is not normal to not have localhost listed in /etc/hosts

Glad it is resolved! Locking thread.
