Not able to start check_mk on redhat 6.5

Hi All,

i downloaded check_mk raw edition for redhat 6
note my exact red hat version is red hat 6.5.

i install the rpm package using following command
yum localinstall check-mk-raw-1.6.0p8-el6-38.x86_64.rpm
i followed the installation guide for redhat.
but when i tried to start up the service i am getting below ERROR.

This hack here is needed to prevent “omd update” problems when updating

as site user from 1.4 versions older than 1.4.0p17.

Previous versios did not unset PYTHONPATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH before execv()

to the newer version “omd” command which made the newer OMD load the old

python libraries. Newer versions unset these variables before, so this

additional execv() is only needed when updating from older versions.

if len(sys.argv) > 1 and sys.argv[1] == “update”
and (sys.version_info[0] == 2 and sys.version_info[1] == 7 and sys.version_info[2] < 14):
# Prevent inheriting environment variables from this versions/site environment
# into the execed omd call. The OMD call must import the python version related
# modules and libaries. This only works when PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are
# not already set when calling “omd update”
try:
del os.environ[“PYTHONPATH”]
except KeyError:
pass

try:
    del os.environ["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"]
except KeyError:
    pass
os.execv(sys.argv[0], sys.argv)
sys.exit("Cannot run execv() %s" % sys.argv[0])

import omdlib.main

if name == “main”:
omdlib.main.main()

note i did same setup on redhat 7 using raw edition for redhat 7 it was working perfectly.

would you please help in this matter.

Best Regards

SELinux enabled ? If so, try to disable it :slight_smile:

Is there a reason to use Redhat 6?
Because Redhat 7 and 8 is available and you say that it’s working there.
