Hello, I’m completely lost trying to install onto a CentOS 7 box. I’ve followed the various installation pages as best as I can but I’m still gettting page not found on browsing to /icinga/setup

What I had to do on CentOS installs was setting up some firewall rules.
I will just copy the whole block of rules I am enabling.

firewall-cmd --add-service=http
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=80/tcp
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=5665/tcp
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=5666/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=smtp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=submission
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=smtps
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=25/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db 1

Hope this helps.
Also maybe check if disabling SELinux (temporarily) helps, and maybe define some additional rules for it. Can’t really help you there though, I’m afraid

The default is /icingaweb2/setup if you didn’t modify the apache configuration provided by the packages.

Setting SELinux to permissive if you lack experience with Icinga but the packages should provide all you need for Icinga to run on an SELinux-enabled system.

Same goes for the firewall. You might want to deactivate firewalld while you’re still learning and testing but with the rules @log1c showed above it should work. I would add port 443/tcp and remove the smtp ports, though.

Remember that there’s a SELinux boolean for MySQL/MariaDB connection via network, too if you want to connect via port not localhost.
