I am trying to install Nagios XI on my redhat box here.

I got the following error, when I ran "fullinstall"

[root@bobsrv1 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.
