I use CentOS 7 as an alpha test system prior to production installation on Red Hat 7.

In my office I can setup and tear down CentOS all day. Our production environment
is outsourced and standardized on Red Hat. So before I try to put XI5 in production
I am doing tests.

I am setting up CentOS using the 'minimal' install.
After an XI5.2.0 install on a clean Centos 7 system I look at the install.log

I am seeing warnings and compile errors, and SQL warnings.

grep -i "warning:" install.log | grep -v deprecated | wc -l
66

grep -i "SQL Error" install.log | wc -l
15

and in the NRDP component install - many deprecated complaints (21), and a termination error.
scons: *** [build/release/makensis/script.o] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

MRTG rateup.c has problems


So, my questions are:

Am I the only one?
When is the 5.2.1 coming out and will these issues be fixed.

To be fair, I did PM to John F. these in an attachment, and he has touched some files to address the code issues.
That was XI5.1.0 and I have done the same test of XI5.2.0 and had the same plus additional errors now in the SQL part.

When will John's changes get into the download so I can try again. The support folks at work here are
in process of setting up a new clean install of Red Hat for me and it should be ready for me next week.

I would like to try again on my CentOS and see a clean install.log before I put this into production use on RH.

Please try this yourself before asking me for a bunch of data. I will send my install log if you need it, but I
would be happier to get independent verification from someone else that I screwed up and that their install
was perfect with no issues.

Please advise.

Thanks

Using CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1503-01.iso as the install (as many default options as I could - Chicago timezone, minimal install, automatic partitioning, root password nagiosxi), these are my literal steps to get XI 5.2 installed:
and my greps:
So it's not just you. Everything does seem to be running fine, however. A few of those warnings were from yum, a good chunk were saying "You have this variable in your source that you don't use" and can be ignored, some are possibly legitimate code-quality things in C that are of no concern, and the rest were the "deprecated" messages you discarded. Regarding the SQL errors, they all seem to be trying to drop columns in a table but those tables have names that I haven't seen before. It might be some cleanup code leftover from an upgrade script. I'll need to see what the devs say about it.

Long story short: As annoying as it can be not having a "clean" install log, I would say those can be ignored.

The NDRP component compile termination - nsis related - NRDP still working?

scons: *** [build/release/makensis/script.o] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

I'll doing my best to avert my eyes for now. It worked for the kilt.

Thanks for sanity check.

I just tested from the Inbound Transfers page, it went right through and showed up in Unconfigured Objects about 6 seconds later.

Everything works with the kilt.



All good to close this up now?

Sure. Close... and Thanks. Next week I'm gonna go 'Live' with XI 5.

Best of luck! We'll be here if you need us.
