Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I'm trying to install Nagios xi and getting an error for postgres prerequesite:

[root@Globe_Nagios nagiosxi]# ./fullinstall
YYour system $PATH does not include /sbin and /usr/sbin.
Adding /sbin and /usr/sbin to $PATH.
========================
Nagios xi Full Installer
========================

This script will do a complete install of Nagios xi by executing all necessary sub-scripts.

IMPORTANT: This script should only be used on a 'clean' install of CentOS, RHEL, Ubuntu LTS, Debian, or Oracle. Do NOT use this on a system that has been tasked with other purposes
or has an existing install of Nagios Core. To create such a clean install you should have selected only the base package in the OS installer.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
