Nagios Support Forum

I've recently downloaded and am evaluating NagiosFusion to manage our multiple installs of Nagios core (will be looking at Nagios XI soon).
I seem to be having issue withe tiny-php. Its not supported under RedHat as its not in their RPM depots. I've notice that the installed tried to download some of the packages from the following website - http://download.fedora.redhat.com - But I get a "transfer failed" error every time I try to install anything from that location. Here is a copy of the error as seen during the install.

Retrieving http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/e ... noarch.rpm
error: skipping http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/e ... noarch.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again

I am behind a firewall, but this server has port 80 access to the internet so downloading an RPM should not be an issue.

My other question is that after doing some research on tiny-php it seems that its no longer a separate package and can be compiled into php-5. Not sure if there is a way to check my install of php from the Redhat depot to see if I it has been compiled in.

I'm running RHE 5 (64-bit) in a VM (ESXi 5.0). I have full access to the Redhat License software Depot.

The other two package I'm unable to install are rpmdevtools and rrdtool.


Any help is appreciated, if you need additional information to help resolve this issue let me know.

I believe that if you change the php-tidy package in the 1-prereqs script to php53-tidy, you should be able to get the necessary package. Let us know if that doesn't work though.

No luck.

# yum -y install php53-tidy
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Excluding Packages in global exclude list

Setting up Install Process
No package php53-tidy available.
Nothing to do

Ok, I'll take a look tomorrow and see if there have been some repo changes. There have been some changes surrounding php as they move from 5.1 to 5.3 in a lot of the repos.

I was able to get this figured out. It was all a proxy issue.

The number one thing I had to do was to add the following to /etc/yum.conf

proxy=http://yourproxy:port

After that my system was able to contact the necessary depots just fine.

OH, yeah, not sure why I didn't think to ask that earlier, but that makes sense. Thanks for the follow up post!
