Hello again, I guess I've got a installation of Icinga Web for testing purposes now running. (I can log into the web GUI now. More tests to be done...). My test machine is now running with Ubuntu 9.10.
But in parts it was a hard way, so I want to give some hints for update of the documentation so that it would be less hard for others. I'm talking about icinga-1.0.2 with IDO, nagios-plugins-1.4.14 and icinga-web-1.0.1. I worked with http://docs.icinga.org/latest/de/icinga-web-scratch.html This documentation tells to install (among others) the package php5-pdo. This is not available in the repositories. So I left it out. Running make testdeps looks fine, only the tests about pdo fail. But they are marked as optional, the docu tells this would be no problem. So I did continue. But very soon after this I was stopped: make db-initialize does not work. Complains about missing mysql module. Solution: After searching quite some time I found out installation of the package php5-mysql helps... Next thing I noticed was, when calling http://localhost/icinga-web/ the webserver did deliver the php code, not the page itself. This one was more easy to find: the package php5 did miss. After installing this I got the login page and could login... :-))) Maybe someone could include these two hints into the documentation. The same problems do not need to be searched for twice!
