Nagios Support Forum

Thanks for rour help. I am not getting any further. Please see install log attached.

Assuming you're on CentOS, try Post the output of Now rerun the install.

Thanks. I am actually running RHEL5. The output of the command is below though...

It seems the install is looking for a pnp folder however, it seems I have a pnp file instead. Any suggestions welcome.

Usually what its looking for the pnp folder in the install directory. I would suggest you delete the install folder. Then re-untar it and run the fullinstall script again. It moves the pnp config files to their location and then if it moved them to some location that wasn't right, it won't find them again.

Could he delete the pnp file and then let the install recreate it?

Yeah, I don't see why not.

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, deleting the pnp file and running the install again has not worked either. The /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp folder is not created each time the install is ran hence the messages below...

Is there something wrong with the install script?
Any assistance is appreciated.

Well, from the looks of that, it looks like rrdtool isn't install properly. Can you type
This should return a list of all packages with rrd, and then make sure there is an rrdtool in that list, then run

Thanks. I am starting to think that the issue I'm having is as a result of my installation being behind a proxy. I cannot seem to connect to the right repositories to install the rrdtool successfully.

Which repositories do you use? Bear in mind that I'm on RHEL5.

Again, thanks for your help.

We use the EPEL and RPMforge repos.
