Nagios Support Forum

I keep getting the following error during upgrade. Even after setting proxy support (export http_proxy= proxy url)

Retrieving http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/e ... noarch.rpm
error: skipping http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/e ... noarch.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error

Than the install script just hangs. What am I doing wrong here?

Strange - looks like a problem with the RPM repo or something. If you want to upgrade Nagios XI without updating the RPMs, run this command instead:

After some searching I found out that I set the environment variable wrong.

For http proxy setting its: export http_proxy = proxy address
But for RPM repo's its: export proxy_host = proxy address

After using the the last one it worked.

Thanks for the tip though. It will come in handy next time.
