Nagios Support Forum

We're trying to eval Nagios XI and this is my 3rd attempt and it is still failing on the same spot...

I'm running on CENTOS 6, installed MySQL and APACHE. It seems that it's looking for nagios which i'm not sure if this has to be installed firsts:

I did the ./fullinstall and below is the error... Help!!!

We had a problem with CentOS 6 because of the changes made in some repos. You can try solving your problem, following the steps described here:

http://support.nagios.com/wiki/index.ph ... n_Problems

BTW, Nagios XI 2011R1.8 is out and you *shouldn't* have any issues installing it on CentOS 6.

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... 1.8.tar.gz

I'm still having the same error with the new release:

Am I missing something? It's looking for nagios in /usr/local/nagios/bin... does it get installed with Nagios XI?

Is this a "clean install"? Do you have Gnome installed? Are you behind a proxy?

yes. this is a clean install.
no. i dont have gnome installed
no. I am not behind a proxy

I installed CentOS 6, installed MySQL, Installed Apache, tar xi-2011r1.8.tar.gz, then ran ./fullinstall

when does the nagios component (usr/local/nagios/....) gets installed?

so running ./install under nagioscore (with -x) this is the error/fail:

ERROR: Nagios Core install appears to have failed - exiting. Missing file = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios

It looks like it's unable to create /bin and put the nagios file

any other suggestions?

Remove all files from your "/tmp" directory, download Nagios XI again, "untar" it, move to the newly created "nagiosxi" directory and run "./fullinstall". If it fails again, post the errors found in the "install.log" file.

I've attached the install.log

Basically, same error....

install was able to pass the error after I installed C compiler (yum -y install gcc).

But now, I get this error: (I also attached the install.log)
