Verifying New Installation

[jjk94]

I have successfully installed NAGIOS XI. I am not able to connect using the URL http://<server_address>/nagiosxi to finalize the installation. Page not found is the error. I have searched and unable to find a document describing the starting of the application server.

Hello @jjk94,

Since this is your first post and I'd like to thank you for choosing Nagios! We're happy to have you in the community. It ought to come up, let's check a few things.

1. What is the operating system you installed on and was this a clean install (anything else running on the server)?

2. Are you able to successfully ping the server from your workstation?

Code: Select all

ping <ip address>

3. Is Apache and the Nagios process running?

Code: Select all

systemctl status httpd
systemctl status nagios

4. Are you able to access the Nagios Core interface?

Code: Select all

http://<ip-address>/nagios
