Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I am having installation problem in RHEL6. I have attached the install.log for your reference. Kindly solve this asap.

Thanks,

What steps are you taking to install Nagios? Are you just doing an install via Yum? Have you done anything before that regarding dependencies? Are you following a specific guide?

Hi,

Following only the nagiosxi installation guide and nothng has been done regarding dependencies. When i tried to run fullinstall it shows the following error.

Was this a minimal install? It looks like there are a number of packages already installed that are not part of a default rhel minimal install. . .

Hi,

I installed Rhel 6 64 bit as Desktop. Is it ok or i need to install RHEL 6 as minimal install. Previously i installed in RHEL 5 32bit version as Desktop only. If i am wrong kindly correct me.

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).

Installing a desktop version of a distro or anything other than a minimal installation can cause problems with installing Nagios. I'd recommend reinstalling your distro as a minimal installation with no graphical front-end, and nothing else configured on it. Nagios XI should install properly then.

Hi,

Thanks for the advice will check on this and get back to you if there are any issues.

Great, let us know if anything comes up.

Hi,

Thanks for the update as per your advice installed with minimal install, now install with no errors.

Kudos to you.
