Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

I am trying to install Nagios XI on client network and we have applied for licenses with Nagios and they said it will take 10 more days, this is for Infosys.
So we posting this in General section.

I gave 777 permissions to the entire folder.

# ./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.

Sorry, it's not clear where your install log ends.

That said - is this a RHEL machine? If so you'll need to subscribe to the RHN optional channel.

Hi Ssax,

[root@lussvpnagiosxi00 nagiosxi]# rhn-channel -l
rhel-x86_64-server-6
rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6
rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-6
Is the output.

You will need to enable the 'optional' channel. Try running:
then rerun the "fullinstall" script.

Run these, post the output:

Are you behind an Internet proxy that requires authentication? That is what it looks like to me. That would no doubt be your problem.

These instructions are for CentOS, but should still fit your application fine:
