Nagios Support Forum

We are trying to install Nagios XI in our production environment through ./fullinstall and running in to below error -

Checking MySQL credentials...
MySQL not yet installed - that's okay.
Running './0-repos'...
Configuring Repos...
package centos-release is not installed
ERROR: Please add the 'Optional' channel to your Red Hat systems subscriptions.
You can do so in the Redhat Network web interface or using the rhn-channel command.
or, install the yum-utils package and use the following command:
yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-server-optional-rpms
RESULT=1

Any suggestions on this - we are checking with our Prod Servers support as well but if you guys have encountered the same please let us know what was done.

Thanks,

The error is well defined in the output:

You can verify with yum repolist all

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Still appears to be a repository issue. All the noted missing packages should be available in either RHN base or RHN optional. If you're unable to source them the install cannot finish.

These are simply prerequisites for the product to work.

Can you upload the entire "install.log"? Also, run the following command and show the output in code wraps:

Thanks for looking in to this - please find attached install.log and also output for

and after this it just stops - hangs here

That error is indicative of it being blocked by a proxy, do you have a proxy?

Yeah be believe so we do have a proxy - how can i manually install without fullinstall option is there a way


Thanks

Thanks

You will need to configure the proxy, here is what you need to do.
Example is for RedHat
You will also need to enable the repos if you are using RedHat.

Thanks rajasegar!

Additionally amit.ahuja, you have 3 options for getting XI up and running.

The source install which you are doing, this requires access to the distribution specific package repositories or a fully updated local mirror as well as some custom repositories (epel, Nagios, etc) to succeed.
The offline install which has similar requirements but doesn't require access to our Nagios specific repositories or any other custom ones, only distribution specific repositories.
The OVA deployment which requires no Internet access.
