Upload the tar to user server.

scp ./icinga-1.2.1.tar.gz osaka[at]nationpigeon.com:./icinga/

Extract it

tar -xvf icinga-1.2.1.tar.gz

./configure
make
make all

Then I got an error on make install, said there was no user ‘icinga’ so I created one.

useradd -m icinga
passwd icinga

And it worked fine. Created a group for the user so it can send command to the web interface.

groupadd icinga-cmd

added Apaches users to this group and the icinga user

usermod -a -G icinga-cmd www-data
usermod -a -G icinga-cmd icinga

Installed all the things it needs

make fullinstall

Create the config files

make install-config

Edited the contact details in nano /usr/local/icinga/etc/objects/contacts.cfg
To install the new web interface I made sure that I had all of its requirements with this command apt-get install php5 php5-cli php-pear php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl php5-pdo php5-gd php5-ldap php5-mysql – php5-pdo comes with php5 and php5-mysql so don’t worry if that’s not there.

Get the files.

git clone git://git.icinga.org/icinga-web.git
