docs say that this is the "db type driver", so depending on your decision, mysql, pgsql, oracle. dunno why 'driver' slipped into at your call. the default is mysql btw. if you do not set that, the created databases.xml in etc/conf.d will contain the default information - which you can edit afterwards either way. those configure options were solely created for packagers to prevent them from sed'ing though created xml files. i demanded those options a while back when working on icinga-web.spec > Per your request, I am including a copy of the databases.xml file for > further verification. looks normal. make sure to clear cache after each change there. > Thanks again for the help. np - make sure to keep monitoring-portal.org bookmarked as well. lively and active community over there, both german and english. plus - note the wiki, and register an icinga account for being able to create dev issue and/or translate icinga-web and/or edit/create wiki articles. once you got an account in the ldap backend, it's fine. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > *From:* Michael Friedrich [mailto:michael.friedr...@univie.ac.at] > *Sent:* Tuesday, May 22, 2012 3:30 AM > *To:* icinga-users@lists.sourceforge.net > *Subject:* Re: [icinga-users] Problem installing the new icinga-web > interface > > On 22.05.2012 01:27, Kaplan, Andrew H. wrote: >> When I ran the configure script for the application, there was a >> series of options that were used to complete the process.
