Nagios Support Forum

Good day!

I'm trying to install Nagiosxill in CentOS 6.2, but always the error occurs below

===================
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 XI technical support.

The script that failed was: './0-yum'
[root@mspslx001 nagiosxi]#

piccirillo,

Make sure your DNS is functioning properly:

ping www.google.com

That should provide proper pings, if it says cannot determine host you'll need to set your DNS settings.

Can you try running

yum install centos-release-cr

Does that finish properly?

nscott,

That's weird, it looks like the epel repository isn't correct...Let do this if that goes well, try the ./fullinstall again

Try this: then comment all the mirrorlist= lines (#mirrorlist=........)
and uncomment the #baseurl lines and save the file

Try running again:

I ran the command and the result was:

I changed the file "epel.repo," ran the command "yum install centos-release-cr" and the result was:

do you use a proxy server at your location?
Is yum setup to use a proxy?

Try:
Then run the installer. I don't think curl is installed on CentOS/RHEL 6.2.
