Is the prod environment on a VM?

If yes, do the installation in Dev. Once the VM if fully installed, move it to production and change the IP, DNS etc.

Another thing you can do is,
/etc/yum.conf
keepcache=1

This will make yum cache all the downloaded packages in /var/cache/yum directory in dev.
You just need to copy them over to prod machine maintaining the same directory structure. yum will grab it from the cache instead of going to to net.

This will take care of most of the rpm sites. The rest of the sites you can apply for proxy access like assets.nagios.com etc.

Good Luck.

[root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx nagiosxi]#

and from here i am running ./fullinstall

I do not see any install.log as I was able to see earlier without tar installation.

Thanks

Is that all the rpm files?
Hmm ...when I installed yum downloads hundreds of Mb of rpms for the installation on a clean Red Hat 6.5 machine.

Hi amit.ahuja,

Bumping your post will not result in a quicker response, in fact it will do quite the opposite. Here at Nagios we use a dashboard type system that shows us the last time someone posted in a thread, so by posting in your own thread again, you move your thread to the bottom of the list. Our hours of operation are 9-5 CT, so anything posted after 5 CT is not generally seen until the next day. With all of that out of the way...

Where are you getting this issue? At the initial login screen for Nagios XI? Can you try to go to http://your.ip.address.here/nagios and see if you are able to log in there?

Is it possible that you have a snapshot of this machine before Nagios was ever installed on it that we could revert to for a truly "clean" machine?

Thanks.

I did the install on fresh machine this time through repos -

I am not able to login to nagios or nagiosxi --http://host/nagios ...........http://host/nagiosxi

and when try to run /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/
./reconfigure_nagios.sh

NAGIOSQL LOGIN FAILED!

thanks

Finally was able to get it working on both the machines - this is what i did if some one runs in to same issues

1) Uninstall nagiosxi through script -
2) ran command rpm -qa | grep nagios to find the installed packages
3) yum remove -y packages
4) asked SA to add assets.nagios.com|72.14.181.71|:80. in Proxy where my server is connects to.
5) followed this doc - https://support.nagios.com/wiki/index.p ... th_Proxies
imp i was missing no_proxy=localhost
6) and then i ran ./fullinstall on xi-latest.tar

Everything worked fine now
Thanks hsmith for all your help and support. we can close this thread now if needed.

I'm really glad to hear this is working for you. Thanks for letting us know how you resolved it. At my previous employer, doing any kind of update or anything at all was really a nightmare due to proxies, so I totally understand.

I'll close this topic, please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Thank you!
