Nagios Support Forum

I'm trying to do an offline install of Log user using the these instructions https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... n-495.html

But when I finally try to run the install I get the following error:

[root@data nagioslogserver]# ./fullinstall
Your system $PATH does not include /sbin and /usr/sbin. This is usually the result of installing GNOME rather than creating a clean system.
Adding /sbin and /usr/sbin to $PATH.

Any ideas whats going on with this - I'm at a loss

Please note, the instructions are performed on 2 different servers, read very closely, you need a
Internet facing server
AND
Offline Server

you need to do a quite a few things on the Internet facing server before moving to the offline server

I did everything needed on the internet facing server.

Looking again you are getting here because the offline server doesn't have epel-release installed, per the guide

The server will require access to offline yum repositories of:

Operating System Repositories

EPEL Repository

You will need access to an offline version of epel repository

can you tell me what epel repos I need?

We use spacewalk to push repos to our offline servers -

Code: Select all

epel-release

I'll give that a try -

let us know if we can be of further assistance

Which packages from epel-release do I need.

Actually, I just verified with the developers and I don't believe any are currently required but they may require some in the future.

If you can get future packages, you can circumvent this all by just commenting the following line in the fullinstall script
