server problems

[elewin]

Hello,
I've just installed zabbix 1.1 alpha10 on Suse Linux 9.2.
Everytime I start the server I get the following error message:
cat: write error: Broken pipe :mad:
Can sombody help me?????

Perhaps fping is not installed and (or) configured.

Thank you,
now I installed fping, but nothing changed. :confused:

I'm quite confused about the conbfiguration of zabbix. I created a test host, selected some items (key : diskused [c:/] and icmpping) and created a graph with this to items.
But the graph is empty: " No data found for this period" What am I doing wrong?

Hi all,

i have the same problem like elewin. I got this message (cat: write error: Broken pipe) even i start the server process and between the server is running. i don´t use fping. Should i install fping to fix the problem or is there another problem? Please can anybody help.

I am seeing the same error on a new install of Zabbix 1.1beta2 on SuSE Linux 9.3. Even though I installed fping, it will not run as the zabbix user, claiming it can only be run by root, or suid root. Anyone know how to correct this?


Oops - nevermind. I found it here:

Greetings,

After installing FPing, you need to configure it so that Zabbix can use it. This is usually done by creating a group, usually called zabbix. Once the group is created, you add the zabbix user to this group, then issue the following commands, as root;

chown root:zabbix /usr/sbin/fping
chmod 710 /usr/sbin/fping
chmod ug+s /usr/sbin/fping


This will make is so that any member of the Zabbix group can exeute fping as if they were root. Once te this is done, edit your /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf and uncomment the following line from your zabbix_server.conf file;

#FpingLocation=/usr/sbin/fping
