Nagios Support Forum

HI, Am a new Linux user. I am trying to install nagiosxi on a box with Centos 6.0 running. Everything was going smoothly until I hit the command ./fullinstall. This brought up an error that 0-yum script failed. See error below;

[networks@netflow-reflector ~]$ cd /tmp/nagiosxi/
[networks@netflow-reflector nagiosxi]$ ./fullinstall
========================
Nagios XI Full Installer
========================

This script will do a complete install of Nagios XI by executing all necessary
sub-scripts.

IMPORTANT: This script should only be used on a 'clean' install of CentOS
or RedHat. Do NOT use this on a system that has been tasked with other
purposes or has an existing install of Nagios Core. To create such a clean
install you should have selected ONLY the 'Base' package in the OS installer.

The script that failed was: './0-yum'

I would appreciate if I can get assistance on how to resolve this.

Kind regards,

You need to be logged in as root. Run in terminal:
Enter the root's password, then run:
Hope this helps.

Hi, Thanks for your response.

I tried the nagiosxi install as root as well, but still getting 0-yum error. I tried some suggestions I read online from a similar case by running the below;

curl -s http://repoforge.org/use/ | grep -o "http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-rele ... e-release-[0-9.-]\+.el6.rf.i686.rpm"

Not sure this has even helped at all as I am now unable to download the file from nagios, but could do so when not logged in as root. See file below;

[ root on pts/0 ] (314) # cd /tmp [ ~ ]
[ root on pts/0 ] (315) # wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... est.tar.gz

Resolving mk-ironport.ad.sis.tv... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address “mk-ironport.ad.abx.com”
[ root on pts/0 ] (316) # [ /tmp ]

I will appreciate your input in this.

Thanks

bro

Are you getting the same error now or a different one? It would be very weird if it still complained about root permissions after you logged in as root.
