Goal: 2024R1.4.1 (same error upgrading to 2024R1.1.1).

Any suggestions?
Centos 7 went EOL last June, and the package repositories are difficult to find. My suggestion would be to stand up a new server on Centos 9, installing the same version of Nagios XI on that, and migrate your XI installation to the new system. Then perform the upgrade of XI. Documentation of the migration process is here. It is critical that during the migration the versions of XI on the source and destination match.
If a new system isn't an option, you may find luck using the Centos vault here for old repositories
New system on new OS is the plan.
Unclear on how to get older revision of Nagios XI (2024R1.02) to install on it.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
No problem! Here you go: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/2024/xi-2024R1.0.2.tar.gz
Thank you very much. No more excuses 😉
