Hello guys.
im trying to install nagios in oracle linux but i cant run the make install-webconf, after little search i found out its because of httpd rpm.
because of some reason i cant use the yum to install the packages and i have to do it offline.
i downloaded httpd rpm and try to install but dependency error happened. every time i try to install one of the required packages a dependency error happening again!!!!!
i really don't know to handle this?

is there any way so i can download all httpd rpms with dependence's?
thank you.

Then lets first fix that, shall we? Is this machine properly configured and registered with Oracle to receive updates and install software? If unsure post full output from running 'yum repolist all; yum -C clean all; yum check-update;'.


*Also note I'll be moving this thread to the Linux - Distributions forum soon as Oracle "unbreakable" Linux is not Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Hello dear unSpawn.

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: el5_latest. Please verify its path and try again

my main problem is this:"
when i try this command: make install-webconf
this error happens:
[root@gam nagios-4.0.8]# make install-webconf
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 sample-config/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf': No such file or directory
make: *** [install-webconf] Error 1
im not sure its because of httpd. i pretty sure the apache service installed on my machine!

Then either please do so if you have a specific reason to use Oracle Linux or install CentOS if all you need is a current, maintained RHEL clone. That, and hardening the machine and keeping up with updates, will keep your machine safe and fix the problem in the process. *Just to make things clear: if you keep using Oracle Linux I assert you know what you're doing and subsequently don't require any help.
