Nagios Support Forum

Hi
I'm trying to upgrade from version 5.4.10 to 5.7.5 in offline mode.
The upgrade seem to fail - it doesn't explicitly say so on the screen but xi-upgrade.txt file ahs Fatal Error in it.
I have attached update.log and a on-screen output
Also it seems wants upgrade wants to install PHP 5.4 . Does version 5.7.5 still requires PHP 5.4. We have updated Nagios to run on PHP 5.6.
It would be a big issue for us if PHP 5.4 is still in use - we are not allowed to run it due to many security vulnerability issues
Before upgrade:

[root ~]# rpm -qa | grep php

Hi genna,
The error in your xi-upgrade log said that "xi.key" was empty.

Can you please try the followings: NOTE:
You might have to re-enter your license information (including the license key) in Admin > License Information.

Restart nagios: As to php, looks like XI 5.7.5 came with PHP v5.4

Hi Vinh,
The install was mostly successful after that. Had some issue with duplicate nagcmd entries in /etc/groups but this is due to our external user/group management software on the VM and I can fix it manually. I can see version 5.7.5 on Web UI so presumably it's all good.

In relation to PHP .54 - is is safe to uninstall ( considering Nagios Xi 5.4.10 was running on PHP 5.6) or do we need to do some extra steps?

Hi genna,
Here's the instruction for upgrade to PHP 7:

If possible, please take a snapshot of your VM before doing the upgrade .... just in-case you need to revert back.


Regards,
Vinh
