Upgrading from Nagios XI 2012 to Latest

[JakeHatMacys]

Long story short we had some issues getting access past our Firewall, we've now got that issue resolved so attempting to upgrade... seemed to get pretty far then failed here:

Code: Select all

*** Main program, CGIs and HTML files installed ***

You can continue with installing Nagios as follows (type 'make'
without any arguments for a list of all possible options):

  make install-init
     - This installs the init script in /etc/rc.d/init.d

  make install-commandmode
     - This installs and configures permissions on the
       directory for holding the external command file

  make install-config
     - This installs sample config files in /usr/local/nagios/etc

Any ideas?

Can you run the following as root,

Code: Select all

crontab -l

It look like there is an error in the crontab

[JakeHatMacys]

[root@esu2v239 ~]# crontab -l
5 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/nmon -x -f -t -s 900 -c 96 -m /archive/nmon_data 2>/dev/null

50 2 * * 2 Shutting down ntpd: [ OK ]

[root@esu2v239 ~]#

Those lines look ok. What is the output of:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/cron.d/nagiosxi

[JakeHatMacys]

[root@esu2v239 ~]# cat /etc/cron.d/nagiosxi

Well, those look fine as well. Do you get the same error if you rerun the upgrade, do you get the error again?

[JakeHatMacys]

Yep same error...

Do you have any other crons in the "/var/spool/cron/" besides root?

Code: Select all

ll /var/spool/cron

Can you run the following command and show us the output?

Code: Select all

cat /var/spool/cron/root

Note: Even though the output from the commands you ran looked fine, you may have some weird line endings, etc. I would recommend running dos2unix against each crontab file just in case, for example:

Code: Select all

yum install dos2unix -y
dos2unix /etc/cron.d/nagiosxi /var/spool/mail/root

Try to upgrade again. If it fails, post the complete "upgrade.log".

Had to split it in two because it was 1.3 megabytes originally. Bottom half is going in this post.

upgrade.log

[JakeHatMacys]

This is the first part to that log file
