Issue with Vmware Perl SDK setup

Post by bello1986 »

Hi,

i'm trying to setup needed prerequisites to start using Vmware SDK.
Starting from a fresh Nagios image, i followed this procedure:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

i'm running Centos7 server version

i'm getting stuck at the very beginning here:

[root@lab-nagsat tmp]# cpan -i Nagios::Monitoring::Plugin Nagios::Monitoring::Plugin::Functions
Fetching with LWP:
http://www.cpan.org/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
read timeout at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Net/HTTP/Methods.pm line 236. at /usr/share/perl5/LWP/UserAgent.pm line 915.


Any suggest is very appreciated, thanks!

Hi there,

It looks like the command timed out due to a connectivity issue.

Please try to rerun:

Code: Select all

cpan -i Nagios::Monitoring::Plugin Nagios::Monitoring::Plugin::Functions
Let me know the results.

Thanks

Hi,

confirmed! Our main firewall blocked tgz packet..
After applying a dedicated rule, it worked.

Thanks :)
