I am trying to install nagios xi(manual install) on CENTOS 5.6 (32bit) but i am getting following error when the installation program is configuring PNP:

/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 -o nagios -g nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp

What should i do to get rid of this error.

Hi,
Have you got any solution for this? I am also facing the same propblem.

Did you try to install Nagios XI on a "clean" system? Was Gnome installed?

Yes. It was clean install. Gnome is also installed.

Are you running the installer from the /tmp/nagiosxi directory and are you running this as the root user?

Has anybody been able to resolve this issue. I am experiencing the same problem installing Nagios XI on RHEL 5. The install is running from the /tmp/nagiosxi directory and running as root. Please assist.

Yes

Please can you share what the resolution was?

The installer should be creating a file /tmp/nagiosxi/install.log. Can you guys post the log so we can see where the problem is occurring?

Just some possibly helpful notes. I encountered errors much like this during a recent install. Here are a few things to do/check

1. Be sure gcc is installed

   Code: Select all

   yum install gcc

   . Otherwise you can't compile anything.

• In /usr/local/nagios/etc/, make sure that there isn't a file called "pnp" created already. Somehow, this happened to me and that's why you get the "Not a directory" error. If it is created, just do

  Code: Select all

  rm -rf /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp

• Uninstall mod_perl

  Code: Select all

  yum remove mod_perl

  then rerun the install script

I would do them in the order I've listed them. Not sure if the order is relevant but it fixed my install issues.
