Hi,

i have installed NagiosXI on centos 5.6_32_bit, but while installing nagios, prior to that i had set root passwd other than nagiosxi due to mysql table is not created and not able to monitor windows hosts.
so now i would like to uninstalled NagiosXi fully and reinstalled again.
kindly let me know if anyone has tried.

note:- is it neccessary to give root passwd nagiosxi only before installing NagiosXI?

Nagios Enterprises highly recommends and will only support installing Nagios XI on a newly installed, "clean" system. 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.

Most probably you will have to uninstall the mysql and postgres completely, and then try to install Nagios XI again following the steps described in our documentation.

Please, watch the "Changing Initial Virtual Machine Credentials" video if you haven't done so:

You can change your root password anytime by typing in terminal:

Code: Select all

# passwd

Then you can enter your new password.
