Error in install scripts

[Mark de Bokx]

All install versions try to use this:

# Needed for rpmdevtools
echo "Enabling EPEL repo..."
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/e ... noarch.rpm

Unfortunately this rpm does not live there anymore .... (you get a 404 not found) latest is epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm.

[tonyyarusso]

This is true. However, that line of code is also redundant and unnecessary now, as the proper file is fetched in 0-yum, so there's no reason for 1-prerequisites to try again, so you can ignore it for the time being.

[tairline]

Thanks.

hi,

i have the same issue. 0-yum script bummed out with that error. so now i ignore that, following your advise, i do the first step and get following error message. i am using RHEL4U8.

That is because yum isn't original supported on rhel4 by RedHat.
Your version of yum doesn't accept the -q (quit) option.
just edit the 1-prereqs file and replace the yum -yq entry's with yum -y.

or rebuild yum with a newer version.

Kind regards,
Menn0

PS are you sure your 0-yum script jumped out with that error?
Because it seems that in the current xi-latest.tar.gz file the 0-yum is build on windows!!!
It is filled up with controlM, so first do a dos2unix 0-yum before executing it

[tzheng]

ok i was able to overcome all the previous problem. now i am coming to step:

[root@drnagios nagiosxi]# ./B-installxi
Creating product directory...
Adding password for user nagiosadmin
psql: FATAL: database "postgres" does not exist
psql: FATAL: database "postgres" does not exist
Stopping postgresql service: [ OK ]
Starting postgresql service: [ OK ]
psql: FATAL: database "nagiosxi" does not exist
psql: FATAL: database "nagiosxi" does not exist
You can usually ignore SQL import error/warning messages.
Step completed.


why it says database postgres does not exist? can i ignore that?

thanks,
tony z

[mkoehler]

nope, you can't ignore that.
can you run as root:
#su - postgres
then
$psql
then
select datname from pg_database;
Do you see that the postgres database is available?
I think something went wrong with step 3-dbservers
If not available can you run:
/etc/init.d/postgresql initdb
and rerun the B-installxi

Kind regards,
Menn0

[tzheng]

ok i end up just doing the VMware install option instead of manual install. too much headaches and lock of documentation you know.

anyway, now i run into new issue:

i need to add snmptrapsender as component to my newly installed nagiosxi. but there is no instructions. i login in to the nagiosxi and doing GUI component install it does not work. i ftp files to nagiosxi and put in tmp, unzip and run install script and give me these errors:

[root@localhost snmptrapsender]# ./installprereqs.sh

i am sorry i am a newbie and have so much questions. but how do i make it use the other mirror? this is what the install script says:

#!/bin/sh


componentdir=/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/snmptrapsender

# Install required rpms
echo "Installing required components..."
yum install net-snmp net-snmp-utils net-snmp-devel -y

pushd $componentdir

# Install MIBS
echo "Installing MIBs..."
cp mibs/*.txt /usr/share/snmp/mibs/

# Write installed file/flat
touch installed.ok

popd

echo "==============="
echo "SETUP COMPLETED"
echo "==============="

We don't have the resources to fully support issues with CentOS and/or RedHat. You should get assistance with yum and rpm from the CentOS community.

It looks like either the mirrors are having DNS issues or that your host is and has been having trouble accessing the internet. We see this from time to time where servers are unable to perform upgrades or software installations because of firewall policy. We are working on helping to create working proxy server configurations.

If you do plan on configuring a proxy then it's important to exclude both localhost and 127.0.0.1/8 and please share your configuration.
