vmware 2011r1.9 configuration issues.

[dkowalski]

Hi all,

I'm having problems configuring nagiosxi, Ive RTFM at least as it pertains to installation and initial configuration, and scoured the support forms. The VM loads just fine I change the credentials as discussed in the documentation I adjust the timezone, and change the IP address. The next step would be to go to the web configuration, however; the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/nagiosxi/install.php spins and resets after I what I can only assume it times out.

I did manage to get past this point on a previous attempt. I had the same behavior while configuring email and system passwords. I am behind a proxy but the subnet the VM is using is allowed to bye pass that proxy.

Did I miss a step
Is there an undocumented trick?

Any help you can give me on this would be great.

After changing the IP address did you restart the httpd service?

Also is the IP address it goes to at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/nagiosxi/install.php the old IP or the new one?

Upgrading to 20 fixed the issues for now ... still have some problems where I have to click a button several times before an update or login or request takes. also the credintials or logged in user expires after about 30 seconds then must log in again to continue.

What browser are you using?

Also, how much RAM have you allocated to the VM?

I am using IIE and firefox I get the same result from both browsers.

the vm has 2Gb of ram

httpd error log:
[Tue Feb 07 11:42:28 2012] [error] [client 10.1.0.1] PHP Warning:  strftime(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.
