Upgrade stuck?

Post by JohnFLi »

Trying to upgrade to latest version.
I used the GUI to update.

for over an hour it remains saying "Update in progress. Please wait. Update may take a few minutes."

I get the same message when going to the gui from a machine that never went to the gui before to eliminate a browser cache issue.

ANy ideas??

Hi John,

Sometimes the GUI update will hang, but it did complete the upgrade. What version does it say in the lower right corner of the screen or go to Admin > System Config > System Profile to verify.

If it did upgrade, follow the kb article below to clear the status.
https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... e-851.html

Otherwise, try running a manual upgrade, and post any error output from the log if it fails. Run the following commands as root from the CLI.

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
rm -rf nagiosxi xi*.tar.gz
wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/xi-latest.tar.gz
tar xzf xi-latest.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi
./upgrade
Regards,
Benjamin

actaully, found the issue.

I tried installing the upgrade manually......at that point it showed me the issue.

the upgrade didnt like my version of centos anymore.

tried inplace centos upgrade a few times.....failed.

so i made a centos 7 machine, installed nagios xi (same version as i had on the old box).......

did a nagios backup from teh old box, then restored nagios to teh new box......

then nagios upgraded without issue.


Thank you for your suggestion.
