have you tried "Admin" instead of "admin"? as username.

password: zabbix

This is not quite right.

Ubuntu 8.4 comes with the very old, but - more or less - working, version 1.4.2
of ZABBIX. I still use this version for some small monitoring tasks.
However, the predefined username is "Admin" but the default password is an empty string in that version.

Try that.

HTH,

Norbert.

Well, if you indeed installed zabbix from the Ubuntu repositories, you might as well think about checking these tutorials and upgrading,

OR,
you can practice with that installation and wait for the upcoming Zab1.8
