Nagios XI installation

[mohanreddy447]

Hello,
Please assist
I am trying to install Nagios XI on a clean RHEL 7.* VM, followed the documentation on how to install Nagios XI in a offline environment.
when I tried to install as root, its prompting for password, I tried my root password, nagiosadmin default password "nagiosxi" both didn't work.

Had you previously installed mysql and created a password for that? If so it may be asking for that root password

Hi,

I have entered and proceeded further with installation, the installation is success but we ran in to database errors and NAGIOSSQL write configs failed.

The bottom portion is not a problem.

The NAGIOSQL WRITE CONFIGS FAILED! is definitely a problem, and my guess is that something didn't get installed correctly.

Can you post your install.log from the installation directory.

Thanks

[MOHANREDDY]

I have attached the install.log file, have a look at it and help me in resolving the issue.

Thanks,

[scottwilkerson]

Thanks, please also attach /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/nagiosql.export.monitoring

Thanks.
