I attempt to setup icinga first time and frankly am a bit confused about all the databases (3?) that need to be setup. I did not find anything about the databases and database requirements in the documentation and altough know sql databases inside out this message is not very informative: The data…

you should create databases for each components you use. this message means that you didn’t. You are trying to use the same database for the icingaweb2 installation as for another component (icinga2, icingadb) You can have an Icinga2 without icingadb but this is deprecated You can have an Icinga…

Hi! You need mysql or postgresql. You need databases for icingadb, icingaweb2, the director and some othher modules if you want them. for example, see here: Debian - Icinga Web

So again I was looking at some out of date documentation: Get started with Icinga So I created these: CREATE DATABASE icingaweb2; CREATE USER 'icingaweb2'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'XWzHVZcidiR#&jn4qcR9ZMVQa5Jo9'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON icingaweb2.* TO 'icingaweb2'@'localhost'; CREATE DATABASE …

Oh have you imported the database scheme for icingadb? What linux are you using

I just follow the steps http://server.example.com/icinga2web/setup Those steps seem flawed. There are too many not documented and not explained steps. My first impression of icinga2 is less than rosy. General configuration has been successfully written to: /etc/icingaweb2/config.ini Authenticat…

[image] bberg: Oh have you imported the database scheme for icingadb? Frankly I’m just following the documented steps Quickstart - Get started with Icinga Those steps are incomplete grep icingaweb /usr/share/icingadb/schema/mysql/schema.sql finds no table icingaweb_group

could someone go over the getting started? there is a step missing: mysql -u root -p icingaweb2 < /usr/share/icingaweb2/schema/mysql.schema.sql and: CREATE DATABASE ido CHARACTER SET 'utf8'; CREATE USER ido@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'blub'; GRANT ALL ON ido.* TO ido@localhost; Followed by mysql…

Actually, the ido is deprecated, so those steps are not needed anymore. Use icingadb instead. sadly, I dont have time right now to go step by step through that quick start

[image] bberg: Actually, the ido is deprecated, Got that now, yeah. So I decided to start afresh removed all the databases and enabled setup. Got pretty far but sadly now see: Cannot load resource config “director”. Resource does not exist #0 /usr/share/icingaweb2/modules/director/library/D…
