I'm just installing icinga2 on Centos 5.6. This was easy until I got to the 
additional instructions for icingaweb2. 'yum install icingaweb2' fails, and 
some investigation shows that there isn't an icingaweb2 package at the repo 
(http://packages.icinga.org/epel/). I did find another one (SLES, I think), but 
no RedHat.

So, how should I install this? Are there any rpms, or do I have to install from 
source? Is it still beta? should I even be installing it at all? Should I use 
an alternative front-end?

CentOS 5.6 is too old so you wouldn't expect there the recent versions of all 
icinga components.

If it's really CentOS5, you should at least upgrade to the most recent point 
release before trying further (iirc that's 5.11 or 5.12).
Additionally you'll need php53 instead of php (similar to Icinga Web 1.x), and 
if you're planning to use PostgreSQL, postgresql84 instead of postgresql. Then 
the joy of php53-pgsql linking against postgresql8.1 begins, which is known to 
contain memory leaks and introducing problems (we already had that with Icinga 
Web 1.x). For MySQL it should work, although 5.1 is painfully compared to 
mysql55.

In the end, you'll go for at least el6.

I would suggest you to install on recent distro like CentOS 7.

el5 is fairly ancient, and el7 offers a good base for the upcoming years. And 
you'll certainly find more users in the community when asking for problems.

You might go for packages, but during beta and rc phasis, I'd go for git 
cloning the master into /usr/share/icingaweb2, running the web based installer, 
and pulling that steadily. Note: Packages don't replace the configuration nor 
do an automated database setup on rhel-based systems.

And if you can't find packages online, you may still build your own.

From my personal point of view I'd rather remove support for icinga2 and el5 as 
well, but we  have to live with that until 2017 at least.

Kind regards,
Michael
