Multiple zabbix environments on one box

[siebrand]

Environment:
FreeBSD 5.3
zabbix-1.0_2,1 port

I'm trying to run multiple zabbix environments on one box (copy of existing environment that is to be migrated, new environment and test environment - 3 in total).

Done:
- added a second database
- copied /usr/local/bin/zabbix_suckerd to /usr/local/bin/zabbix_suckerd_old
- copied and changed /usr/local/etc/rc.d/zabbix.sh to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/zabbix_old.sh
- copied and changed /etc/zabbix/zabbix_suckerd.conf to /etc/zabbix/zabbix_suckerd_old.conf
- run /usr/local/etc/rc.d/zabbix_old.sh start

/usr/local/etc/

Result:
Starting zabbix_suckerd_old.
File [/var/tmp/zabbix_suckerd.pid] exists. Is this process already running ?

Currently I've had to change the following line in the source code and recompile a new zabbix_suckerd to change this:
/usr/ports/net-mgmt/zabbix/work/zabbix-1.0/src/zabbix_sucker/zabbix_sucker.c:
242 parse_cfg_file("/etc/zabbix/zabbix_suckerd_test.conf",cfg);

Is it a good idea to maybe change this permantently, because it will now not read alternative config files? That's pretty nasty.

ZABBIX 1.1 is already free of this limitation. Name and location of a configuration file can be given as command line parameter.

Thanks for the quick answer. Looking forward to the release of 1.1 then!

(I've got the 3 environments up and running, btw, so at least there's a semi-advanced work around.)
