Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

Trying to install xi-2014r1.5 on a Centos 6.7 & it's failing. I do not have any proxy setup.
copied the install output & the install.log


[root@nagiostest nagiosxi]# ./fullinstall
========================
Nagios XI Full Installer
========================

This script will do a complete install of Nagios XI by executing all necessary sub-scripts.

IMPORTANT: This script should only be used on a 'clean' install of CentOS or RedHat. Do NOT use this on a system that has been tasked with other purposes or has an existing install of
Nagios Core. To create such a clean install you should have selected ONLY the 'Base' package in the OS installer.

If you want something from the 2014 series, why not go with https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... 2.7.tar.gz ?

If you take a look at https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... rsions.php you'll see any 2014 version is pretty old. Is there a reason you aren't using something from the 5.x series?

xi-2014r1.5 is my current production version & wanted to upgrade to latest. Is that a doable thing since we are too behind.
Want to replicate the scenario & see how upgrade goes.
Will the clients (nrpe) need any upgrade after upgrading the NagiosXI.

I do not want to break my working one with the upgrade.

I believe you'll just need to update the rpmforge repo and switch it from the apt.sw.be. Take a look at this article which should help - https://github.com/repoforge/rpms/issues/378

It worked after updating the rpmforge repo.
Thankyou for the support.

If I upgrade the Nagiosxi, do I need to do anything with clients.

Awesome, glad to hear that worked!

Depending on what client you're referring to, you may have to, but generally speaking everything is backwards compatible.
