Nagios Support Forum

Hello
I need some help. Is it possible to install nagios core 3 with php 5.1.
If yes, how do I configure nagios or php?
Thank you for your help

Is Nagios Core 3 your only option? Assuming this is on Ubuntu, we now have a guide on installing from source. Do you have to have 5.1 or can you use a newer version of php?

The document is here: http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... Source.pdf

Hello Slansing
Nagios will be installed on rhel. Yes I need to install it with php 5.1.
Question is also the depency with gd 1.6.3 Is this all configurable.

You can install Nagios XI to a RHEL 5 based system with no problems. By default they will not come with 5.3.x installed. Almost 100% of our code is written to the lowest package supported so you should be fine running under 5.1. The same goes with GD, which I assume is Gnome Desktop?

Hi Slansing

I want to install nagios core 3.x on rhel and not nagios XI. Does it still work with php 5.1.
According to Nagios requirements http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/about.htm
Thomas Boutell's gd library version 1.6.3 or higher (required by the statusmap and trends CGIs)
is needed.

Does it work with php 5.1.

Thank you and have a nice weekend.

Sorry, Friday got to me.. Yes you should be fine using PHP 5.1 within core as well. I am not sure about the "gd lib." You could try it, and then upgrade it if necessary, you should not hurt anything in the process.

Hi Slansing
Thank you very much. Great. Have a nice day
