Nagios Support Forum

Hi all,

I am attempting to migrate from Nagios xi 5.7.1 on CentOS 6 to Nagios xi 5.7.1 on CentOS 7. I created a new VM and installed CentOS 7. I then installed Nagios xi 5.7.1 using the installation guide. Once installed, I restored my backup from the previous server. After the restore completed, I ran the script recommended in the Installation Guide for moving from one OS to another. I received no errors on the restore process; however, I have been unsuccessful in getting to the web interface on the new server.

Let me also say that I am not very Linux savvy, so please be patient as we work through this.

Here is the output of the command: systemctl status nagios.service

While waiting on this post to be approved, I was able to upgrade 5.7.1 to 5.8.4 by running the upgrade command. The upgrade resolved whatever issue was present.

Wow - you made things easy for me.

Glad you were able to move forward.

Thanks for letting us know. Have a good one!
