Unable to upgrade from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6

I am following this doc :

but am getting permission denied errors running upgrade script.

Has anyone seen this?

Hi matson-itops,

Could you run the following command and post the results back to us:

Code: Select all

find /tmp/nagiosxi/  -ls 

Thanks in Advance,
Keith

Hi check the file permisions of upgrade script and set execution perm

[ssax]

Thanks @DonForigua, that's a good tip:

Code: Select all

ls -l /tmp/nagiosxi/upgrade.sh

Do you have noexec set on /tmp?

Code: Select all

mount | grep noexec

You should be able to do this instead of using /tmp if that's the case:

Code: Select all

cd /root
wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/xi-latest.tar.gz
tar xzf xi-latest.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi
./upgrade

[matson-itops]

thanks for the advice. yes, it was noexec on /tmp on RHEL8

Hi,

Sounds like you got it resolved. Did you need anything else or shall close this thread?
