Restoration of Nagios XI - Xmartic

[evisus]

Hello team.

I would like to know if it is possible to make a backup from a Nagios XI server installed in a 6.3 centres with php 5.4 and restore to a Nagios XI server installed in a centos 7 with php 7.

Will there be a problem with php 7?

Thank you in advance for your help

Hello @evisus,

That shouldn't be a problem, but make sure you migrate between the same versions of Nagios XI. So either upgrade the current system to the latest prior to migrating, or install the same version on the new server and migrate.

Here's our migration guide with step-by-step instructions:

Hi.
I have built a laboratory in centos 7 and php 7.2 and I find an error installing nagios xi from the source:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Is there any updated version of "nagiosxi-deps-el7-5.6.6-1.noarch" for php 7?

Any idea how to correct the error?

Thank you

Hello @evisus,

There are conflicting php packages preventing the installer from completing. What commands did you use to install php 7, can you post them for us to review?

Take a look at this thread as a reference:
Upgrading PHP on Nagios

Hi.

I have used the instructions on the next page as a reference.

https://tecnstuff.net/how-to-install-php-7-on-centos-7/

I emphasize that I had no previous version of php installed on the server.

This has worked for me: "Upgrading PHP on Nagios"

In short, we must perform a native installation of Nagios XI with php 5.5 and then migrate to Php 7.2

My intention was to start with php 7.2 but it was not possible.

Thanks for the help, you can close this thread
