Nagios Support Forum

I've just downloaded and converted the VM version of Nagios XI into an ESX cluster. The box boots up fine and gives me a login screen.

At the top though, it currently says "Access Nagios XI at http://" with no address.

After logging in, I completed the root password change via passwd.

When I run the following command though - which comes from the doco -

mysqladm -u root -p'nagiosxi' password whatever

I get an error:

mysqladmin:connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!

If I try:

ps -ef|grep -i mysql

I get no result.

That is weird that msqld didn't start.

Did you try to restart it? Did you happen to look in the log to see if you could see anything?
