Hey bro you got an additional issue. That line:
Error backing up MySQL database 'nagios' - check the password in this script!
means that the MYSQL password stored in the backup.sh script is not correct. I had the same problem and the mighty Support team hooked me up with the answer:
http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... sql#p26553 .
If you don't know the password i have no clue how to change it, but fellas can help on that one.

Thanks benhank, but I think that is the default error message in the backup script and if the table is crashed it will spit that out...

To Nagios XI Tech Support Specialist:
If we rebuild the Nagios XI Server, what environmental variables have to be set before the install of Nagios? Our Primary Nagios Server is still running, but we want to do a scratch rebuild without doing a backup and restore. Can we copy or import our host configuration files of each node? Again, we do not want to restore from our old server because we need to build from scratch or ground zero. We tried the restore script, and it does not seem to work very well. In addition, we cannot run the uninstall script to reinstall Nagios XI and build from scratch. It keeps giving me permission denied.....

This is what I think the path have to be setup before installing Nagios into a Cent OS platform, right?

NAGIOS PATHS:

ADD TO PATH


/usr/kerberos/sbin:



/usr/local/sbin:



/sbin:





/usr/sbin


echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin' >> $HOME/.bash_profile


. $HOME/.bash_profile


echo $PATH

On a fresh minimal install CentOS machine, you shouldn't need to do anything other than what is laid out in this document

Once installed you can import configuration files by following this guide
