Problem With Installation

[Gavin]

I'm trying to install the latest build of Nagios XI on a Centos 6.2 (x64) VM. I'm running the installer as root and am unable to get past:

Code: Select all

Here's a dump of '/etc/sysctl.conf'.

# sysctl.conf(5) for more details.

kernel.core_uses_pid = 1

# Controls the use of TCP syncookies
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1

# Disable netfilter on bridges.

net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 0

Do you have any idea why this might be failing? As always, any advice is appreciated

Thanks,

I commented out that section of the script, and it installed fine. It looks like it did make the changes it was supposed to make too.

Odd - please feel free to close this thread.

Thanks,

Did ndoutils install ok after your changes to the script? If not, this will be an issue as XI more or less requires a working install of ndo.

Yup, I only commented out the section that was making changes to sysctl.conf. Oddly, it did seem to make the changes successfully, but still threw an error.

Ndoutils is running fine.

Thanks,

Gavin

Great. Enjoy the week. Lockin 'er up.
