Are you running the installer as the root user?

Sorry for my mistake.

I forgot to install it as a root user.

But, the problem on installing Nagios xi still occured.

Below is the error message from install.log (it is different from before) for your reference :

Re: Problem on installing Nagios xi in CentOS 6.3

Please review our installation platform requirements to make sure this system follows those guidelines:
Important: Nagios Enterprises highly recommends and will only support installing Nagios xi on a newly installed, "clean" system. Attempting to install Nagios xi on a pre-existing system with other applications already installed can cause the Nagios xi installation process to fail, critical system components and settings (e.g. database servers) to be modified in a way that negatively affects other applications, and previously installed applications to be automatically upgraded or removed. While installing xi on a system with other applications is possible, it is not recommended due to the possible interactions and complexity of multiple components that are required for Nagios xi to function. If you choose to ignore these warnings, you do so at your own risk.
Was mysql already installed on this system prior to running the installer?
