Installion Problems with 2011 Nagios XL

[mpenland]

Installation went good until I ran ./B-installxi

I get the following errors.

[root@NagiosXL nagiosxi]# ./B-installxi
Installing Nagios XI base files...
Creating product directory...
Adding password for user nagiosadmin
Building latest perms binary...
~/nagiosxi/nagiosxi/basedir/scripts ~/nagiosxi

-bash: /root/nagiosxi/nagiosxi/create_postgres_db.sh: Permission denied
ERROR: PostgresQL user 'nagiosxi' was not created - exiting.
ERROR: Nagios XI database was not setup properly - exiting.

Any idea on how to fix?

Here is the contents of the B-installxi file --Also running on centos

[root@NagiosXL nagiosxi]# vi B-installxi

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

source "./init.sh"

# Was previous step completed?
if [ ! -f installed.subcomponents ]; then
    echo "Subcomponents were not installed - run previous script"
    exit 1
fi

# Was this step already completed?
if [ -f installed.nagiosxi ]; then
        echo "Nagios XI base files already installed - skipping."
        exit 0
fi

Just to verify a couple of items:

Are you running this on a cleanly installed system? (No previous mysql or postgres users present)

Did you run the installer scripts from the /tmp/nagiosxi directory?

Do you have any special firewall, SSL, or proxy configurations on your system?

[mguthrie]

Oh, nevermind, I see the problem:

/root/nagiosxi/nagiosxi/create_postgres_db.sh: Permission denied

untar to your /tmp directory and try the install scripts again.

Here is some available documentation as well in case you need it:

Thanks for the quick response. I loaded from the tmp and it worked.

[rdedon]

Great! Feel free to post again if you have any additional questions or issues. Thanks!

Use /tmp rather than /root.

[mpenland]

That worked thanks
