unable to start Nagios service

[ericsson_att]

We were successful in creating the db. Not having NagiosXI in tmp folder, will it be a problem down the line ?

I'm not sure of what steps you did on that, so I don't know for sure. I haven't worked as much with the install scripts, but I have run through the scripts by accident before from the /root directory and it does cause issues with the 'E' script that imports the initial config files. I'd recommend copying the nagiosxi directory to /tmp and re-running the scripts.

[ericsson_att]

once we move the nagiosxi folder to /tmp, do you think it will work with no issues?

[mguthrie]

I checked it on my CentOS 5.5 install. I had run the install scripts from the root folder by accident. So I re-ran them from the /tmp directory starting with 2-usergroups just to be safe. My configuration check on the E-importnagiosql script passed ok. The only snag I ran into was at the very end of that script, it stalled out on me for some reason. So I just manually ran the last part of that script, which was:

./restart_nagios_with_export.sh

if it restarts ok, then do:
./nom_create_nagioscore_checkpoint.sh

Not sure why that hung up, our tech who writes the scripts isn't in at the moment. But you should be ok if you follow the above steps. From there you just follow the normal install steps for the web interface. You may get an sql error at the very beginning because it tried to create duplicate tables, but after that you should ok.

I'll watch the forum, send a reply if you hit any other roadblocks.

Thanks! We really appreciate your quick response and will post an update.

nagiosql was never deployed in apache, hence E-importnagiosql fails to import all required configuration files.

here is the error log:

http://localhost/nagiosql/admin/import.php
Connecting to 10.7.0.140:8081... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 503 Service Unavailable

Please let us know what the issue is?

If you're running through all of the install scripts from the /tmp directory now instead of the root and you're getting this error, then it would appear that the issue is related to the proxy configuration.

The E-nagiosql scripts uses wget via php for some of it's processes. It's looking like the proxy is preventing these from being successful.

[ericsson_att]

because we use proxy server we set the following:

Added the following in /etc/wgetrc :
http_proxy=http://10.7.0.140:8081/
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16

please let us know if there is any issue with this.

[ericsson_att]

this is a new installation from /tmp folder.

[ericsson_att]

After we ran into the issue with the E script.

We removed the no_proxy from this file and re-started the server.

Added the following in /etc/wgetrc :
http_proxy=http://10.7.0.140:8081/
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16
