Post 5.8.1 Upgrade Questions

Post by UWBernie »

Hello,

I've recently upgraded from 5.6.14 to 5.8.1 on Centos7 When I went to change the mysql passwords based on this doc

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

I was unable to start my Monitoring Engine Process. I restored the default passwords and the monitoring engine started just fine, is there an update to that doc needed for 5.8.1?

I was also looking to add Mod_Security using this doc

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios_XI.pdf

However mod_security_crs-extras is a el6 only package, is there a el7 version or is it not needed with el7?

I just ran through it and it worked properly on mine on EL7 5.8.1, you likely missed a step or have downgraded NDO3 back to NDO2DB.

Please PM me a copy of your profile.zip, you can download it from Admin > System Profile by clicking the Download Profile button.

That Mod_Security doc doesn't seem to work on XI 5.8.1, I'm getting issues on mine, I have alerted QA to this so they can update the doc/rules.

Do not follow that Mod_Security guide otherwise things won't work.

If you already followed it, to disable it you would remove any mod security files from /etc/httpd/conf.d and restart apache:

Code: Select all

service httpd restart
