fullinstall pukes

[nleistad]

CentOS6.8 on Proxmox 4.2-2 hypervisor
fullinstall pukes on time, relink /etc/localtime && touch /etc/sysconfig/clock
full install chokes on firewall
check iptables -L all listed but udp, manually add udp, still pukes on firewall
iptables a few tries later, multiple stanzas of all ports listed in fullinstall except upd.
manually delete redundancy.
http://<my ip>/nagioslogserver no httpd (probably due to not completing install which won't)
service httpd start, look OK, except no elasticlogsearch

[root@logserver ~]# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/java/default/jre/bin:/usr/java/default/bin:/root/bin:/usr/java/default/:/usr/java/default/bin/

[root@logserver ~]# service elasticsearch start
/etc/init.d/elasticsearch: line 65: which: command not found
Could not find any executable java binary. Please install java in your PATH or set JAVA_HOME

Since you're going to have to moderate this, here it is. Possibly I should just use rsyslog and NEVER have to deal w/ this JAVA POS. It's NOT GOOD SOFTWARE (said after fighting w/ it for 2.5 hours, please forgive)

Could you please post the install.log so that we can see what the underlying issue is?

Also - are you running the VM under a OVZ or KVM?

[nleistad]

while logs say "firewall" fails, fullinstall adds firewall rules each time it runs, looking for iptables_filter ?? Not sure what that wants.
Currently think biggest problem is the eternal struggle with JAVA and getting elasticsearch to run.

hmm, maybe if installer finished java would work?

[nleistad]

in Proxmox, it's a CT, guess that's an OVZ...

[rkennedy]

I spun up Proxmox 4.2, deployed the CentOS6 template (which is 6.7), setup networking and installed wget / tar.

It errored out at this part -

Code: Select all

Running 'timezone'...
./libinstall.sh: line 314: /etc/sysconfig/clock: No such file or directory

===================
INSTALLATION ERROR!
===================
Installation step failed - exiting.
Check for error messages in the install log (install.log).

If you require assistance in resolving the issue, please include install.log
in your communications with Nagios Enterprises technical support.

The step that failed was: 'timezone'

@mcapra deployed a 6.8 machine and didn't run into any issue (not on Proxmox though). Are you using the Cent6 template, or a minimal install?

[nleistad]

Actually I installed in VM using minimal is, adding packages before running game full install

[nleistad]

Mentioned relinking /etc/local time & & touch /etc/sysconfig /clock allowed next run of fullinstall make it to firewall where iptable_filter became issue.

Starting https let me register but complained about Java when elasticsearch wasn't running

[rkennedy]

Got it, I can do some more testing on my end if it's needed.

Just to get on the same page, what state is the machine in now / what is the current issue?

[nleistad]

Current Machine State: NEW on bare hardware, ProxMox solution tabled until I decide if we're interested, CentOS 6.5, haven't upgraded yet, but will

NagiosLogServer running.

Log server itself sending considerable logs, have a single piece of CPE doing small entries. My Linux boxes not running rsyslog yet, will have to unload syslogd and convert.

I'd probably close the issue RE Proxmox and install issues as bare metal working w/o issue so far.

Thanks for you help.

Noel.

[rkennedy]

I am really baffled that Proxmox ended up being problematic, even with the testing I did myself. I have done NLS installs on OVZ / containers (not docker) and not had any issues thus far.

I'll leave this thread open should you decide to come back to the Proxmox issue, but if any new issues occur with the bare metal please open a new thread.
