Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I am trying to install agent on the RHEL5 and it failed to install some sub-components. Installation log attached. Please let me know how can I troubleshoot this issue.

Thanks

Are you installing this on an existing nagios system? Presently it seems that the xinetd config cannot be read.

ls -lva /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe

Was nrpe already installed (from repos, etc) on this host before you ran the agent install?
Is xinetd installed correctly?
What is the contents of the directory:

it's new install on the new server. We didnt install nrpe and this is content of this directory:
[root@orahp2 ~]# ls -lva /etc/xinetd.d/

Try running the following command:
then re-run the agent installer.

Hope this helps.

Thanks it helped

Do you have an update on this? Has it completed installation?
