Help with Windows Agent

[Harris]

Hello,

I'm having problems with Zabbix Agent (1.1.6) for windows.
Already tested on WinXP and Win2003 server.

I followed all the steps on http://www.zabbix.com/manual/v1.1/processes_agent_win.php
And i'm still having problems.

After installing the agent, i go to services.msc and when i try to start it, it takes a long time starting until it fails.

This error ocurrs on all windows that i tried.

I installed agents on lots of linux machines, and didnt had any problem. Now i'm facing problems on any Windows machine.

Can someone helpme?
ps: sorry for my bad english

Tkz in advance!

what error message is displayed in the systems event viewer?

[Harris]

didnt found any messages about zabbix on the event viewer
:/

Go to services, and select properties of Zabbix win32 agent.

You have to review "Path to executable" and you have to view something like this:

"C:\zabbix\ZabbixW32.exe" --config "C:\zabbix_agentd.conf"

You must have zabbixw32.exe and conf file in correct path.

i had the same problem. Default the logfile goes to c:\tmp. If that dir doesn't exist the agent doesn't start.

creating the dir, or setting another one in the config, does the trick.

try to place zabbixw32.exe and zabbix_agentd.conf in the root c:\
make c:\tmp directory
after installing zabbix service dont try to start service - just reboot system.

Worked greatly!
tkz alot and sorry for taking sooooo long to answer. I'v been very busy on the last few days.

I think that this question should be on a FAQ or something else since it doesnt gives any error messages. :P
