Nagios Support Forum

Hi - we are using PHP version 8.1.27 on RHEL 9.

Here's an error we received when trying to do an offline upgrade to Nagios XI 2024R1.1.2: "Unable to find a match: php-imap"

We've tried to install this function in php, however it is not directly supported in RHEL9/php 8.1.27. Anyone have any ideas?

Here's an output of the upgrade command:

Hi @cochran,

It sounds like you may be missing some dependencies in your offline environment. I've included our steps for offline installation/upgrade here just in case it contains any useful information to you in this regard:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... onment.pdf

Per the bottom of page 2, you do need to make sure that your offline environment has access to RHEL Base, AppStream, EPEL, and codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms. From the research I did on this I believe EPEL is the specific package you need for this php-imap extension. You'll also need to make sure your php.ini file is updated with "extension=imap" assuming the php-imap extension you install goes in the default php extension directory, otherwise you'll need to specify it in this format: Make sure to restart apache after making any php config changes: Let us know if you have any other questions about this!

Make sure to restart apache after making any php config changes:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Let us know if you have any other questions about this!

How can one ensure that the php.ini file is properly configured to load the required php-imap extension in the offline environment?

Hi @cochran and @dieter33, thanks for reaching out.

I agree that php-imap isn't available on any EL9 distro and shouldn't be required to complete an upgrade. It's possible that this is fixed in release 2024R1.1.3 - when I download the offline tarball for this distribution, none of the RPMs inside require php-imap. Please let me know if you're still seeing the problem on the latest release and I'll try to help troubleshoot.

Hi dieter33,

We had a similar issue on rhel8 and needed to install from specific nagios repo.

Hi oliviergautreau

Which version of RHEL were you doing that on? It looks like you're using an RHEL 8 repository to get the older package.

Users of Nagios XI have reported encountering an Bitlife issue when attempting to upgrade to version 2024R1.1.1, which includes Nagios Core 4.4.13. The upgrade process fails due to an incorrect MySQL root password.
The upgrade process prompts for the MySQL root password.
Entering the correct password results in an error message indicating that the password is invalid.
