Hello! I’m pretty new to the Icinga world and community, and while trying to install all the recommended resources to correctly run Icinga (with the help of a video-tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWEiu2Bn2OY&t=37s&ab_channel=SystemWatchers), when I got to the end of the Icinga Web 2 configuration on my browser it gave me the “Sorry! Failed to set up Icinga Web 2 successfully” showing me as errors the following screenshots:

I looked up a few forums online but I can’t seem to find the solution! Has anyone already experienced this before? If yes, please help me! Thank you very much!!

Some specs:

  • I’m running Icinga on a Ubuntu (22.10) VM on my Host Machine which is a Windows 10
  • Until this point everything seemed to work fine with all the other steps the tutorial followed

Thank you in advance!

Hello and welcome :slight_smile:

If you go back to the first page of the setup wizard you should find instructions for setting up the required user to be executed on the CLI, so that the /etc/icignaweb2 directory has the correct permissions.

As for the MySQL messages: make sure that you either

or

  • put in the desired configuration (db name, user, pw) AND after that a root user for the database, so that the web setup can create the database and user itself.

Thank you very much for your reply!
Now it’s working after I gave the Set Up the credentials for the root user of the database! :slight_smile:
