Did you set up "no_proxy=localhost" in the "etc/wgetrc" as described
here?

We had to add this, but after a reboot the problem remains. (actual IP obscured)
# You can set the default proxies for Wget to use for http, https, and ftp.

I believe you need to change this line:
Code: Select all
http_proxy=http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XX:XX/
to this:
What do you have in the "/etc/yum.conf"? (hide sensitive info)

We are setup to use our proxy w/o authentication (our internet connection is only temporary, this will be removed when we do a full roll out), so I believe that line is correct (our network guys confirm this, and we are able to pull updates from RHN).
Below is our /etc/yum.conf
[root@LXHMIMON01 ~]# cat /etc/yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releasever
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
installonly_limit=3
# The proxy server - proxy server:port number
proxy=http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XX:XX
# This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata
# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
# It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).
# metadata_expire=90m
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

Go to the install directory:
and run the following command:
See if the upgrade will fix your issue. Check for config errors:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
If this fails, post the "/tmp/debug.txt" file.

This did not appear to resolve the issue. The debug.txt file is attached, as well as the result of
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
below.
Code: Select all
[root@LXHMIMON01 nagiosxi]# /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

It is really hard to determine what has been changed on this system. Things that stand out to be were the following from the original install.log
Code: Select all
useradd: user 'nagios' already exists
groupadd: group 'nagios' already exists
As well as the fact that PHP is dumping Stack trace info, which certainly isn't the default behavior of a clean minimal install of RHEL.
I would strongly recommend starting again on a clean minimal install of RHEL, only changing what is required for your proxy as opposed to patching together a machine that might have other problems in the future.

We can do a fresh install. Does it make sense given our past difficulties to have one of your support staff remote in and do the install after we reload the LPAR? My counterpart is emailing the staff member that helped us before (abrist) to see if they can support, though any technician would suffice if they are not available. We're in a time crunch for this to be functional, so we'll support whatever works. We should have the server ready for the install at 12:00 EST.

abrist has a remote session, already scheduled for today with you, so we will continue communicating via mails. I am locking this topic.
