VMware 5.5, imported and created VM from OVA, Went to IP the server was running on; ran web based install.
The messages below pop up.... no database? Where's the documentation on how to install this stuff?

Occasionally the OVA can have crashed tables initially, I experienced it on my first day with the company.

To fix it, you need to run the script that the error message is calling for you to run.

From the command line, type the following.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/repair_databases.sh
Let us know if that doesn't work for you.

Thanks!

Since it was just a VM, i deleted the VM then recreated it from the OVA. Then used the scripts and commands listed in the CLI to give it a fixed IP, changed login password and changed mySQL password.
After that the install web page worked.

Good to hear that it is working. Is there anything else we can do for you on this one, or are we all right to mark this one as resolved and close it up?
