Hello,

i have re-installed mysql but i m getting following errors..


[root@localhost nagiosxi]# ./fullinstall

Nagios XI Full Installer
========================

This script will do a complete install of Nagios XI by executing all necessary sub-scripts.

IMPORTANT: This script should only be used on a 'clean' install of CentOS or RedHat. Do NOT use this on a system that has been tasked with other purposes or
has an existing install of Nagios Core. To create such a clean install you should have selected ONLY the 'Base' package in the OS installer.

It would appear that your mysql installation is not working properly. Are you using a packaged version of mysql or a source based install? Can you locate libmysqlclient.so.16 on your filesystem?

It looks like the dependencies on this system are having problems.
1. Are you running ./fullinstall?
2. What distro/version are you installing to, and is this a corporate build?
3. Are you sure this build was a *minimal* install?

Hello,


1) yes i am installing through ./fullinstall
2) I am using a Centos 6 with full installation with GUI and nagiosXi ie http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... 2.2.tar.gz


Thanks,

Keep in mind:

Installation Prerequisites
Important:
Nagios Enterprises highly recommends and will only support installing Nagios XI on a newly installed, “clean” system (a
bare minimal install with nothing else installed or configured).
Attempting to install Nagios XI on a pre-existing system with other applications already installed can cause the Nagios XI installation
process to fail, critical system components and settings (e.g. database servers) to be modified in a way that negatively affects other
applications, and previously installed applications to be automatically upgraded or
removed
. While installing XI on a system with other
applications is possible, it is not recommended due to the possible interactions and complexity of multiple components that are required
for Nagios XI to function. If you choose to ignore these warnings, you do so at your own risk.

Would it be possible for you to re-install centos with MINIMAL selected? With no GUI? That will work properly as that is what most of us use in office here.

Hello Slang

Thanks for the update...

In my case i have a office machine in which there is linux installed in it and i can't re-install it every time and in futher i have to re-install nagiosxi every 60 days as i have to show demo to our clients .
Is there any way i can go ahead with this?



Thanks,

[abrist]

We have an online demo located at: http://nagiosxi.demos.nagios.com
Installing to a full centos machine with full package compliments and gnome/X will most likely result in installation issues. I suggest you install XI to a clean *minimal* install of centos.

Are you a reseller?

Hello ,

I am aware of the Online Demo but some clients want to see a live environment in which their requirement get fulfilled , so i have to configure it and show them.

And YES , i am a Re-seller E-Quest Tecnologies
