Hi,

I'm getting the following error when I reinstall the latest version in test server, I'm using redhat 6..

The script that failed was: './E-importnagiosql'

Then I've looked at E-importnagiosql and checked the line gave the error,

# Reconfigure Nagios with initial configuration import
(cd ./nagiosxi/basedir/scripts; ./reconfigure_nagios.sh)

When I manually run the reconfigure_nagios.sh

The I checked reconfigure_nagios.sh and found that the error is from import_nagiosql.sh, actually the following php command gave the error ....

It seems like a proxy issue. Please, review our wiki post on the use of proxies in Nagios xi:

Hope this helps.

I've configured /etc/yum.conf and /etc/wgetrc with http_proxy , still got the same error.

There is another step mentioned there

Here is a proxy install solution reported by forum user TSCAdmin:

1. Before running any installation script install php-pear package manually

2. Set proxy for PHP Pear
pear config-set http_proxy 'http://example.com:8080'

-- I did step 1& 2
3. Run Nagios installation scripts sequentially

--- Do I need to manually install the scripts insted of using fullinstall?

4. Unset system proxy before running E-importnagiosql script

-- here am I supposed to set the below config before running E-importnagiosql script?
pear config-set http_proxy ''

Thanks
