View Full Version : ZABBIX installation manual
Is the zabbix installation manual correct
http://www.zabbix.com/manual_install.php
Could anyone who has installed Zabbix sucessfully, explain the steps needed to get it up and working.
I think the manual is wrong. Could anyone confirm this?
I installed the Zabbix server and then went to localhost/zabbix
but I can't login with "Admin" and empty password or anything.
Is there something else I should do?

although its not perfect, the manual seems to be pretty up to date. the installation instructions worked for me with 1.1alpha10 on suse enterprise 9.3.
did you load the default data into the database?
Are you referring to that cat data.sql | mysql -u root zabbix step?
I did that.
I just did a select * from users; on the zabbix database and saw that there were some values in the passwd filed so I did an update and cleared them out, but I still can't login.
Hey and thanks for the help gyrate.

yup, thats what i was talking about. i dont remember what the default password was (it should be in the documentation somewhere), but it worked for me. maybe the username is case-sensitive?
I tried with both cases. Nothing worked. :(
Any other ideas?

"saw that there were some values in the passwd filed so I did an update and cleared them out, but I still can't login."
i wonder if this broke something. if i were you, id drop that database and reload the default data.
Did that too, still not able to login.
Did you make a zabbix user in MySQL, and if so, make sure that the config.inc.php and the db.inc.php files reflect the user and password that you gave to zabbix for the database connection.
I had trouble at this step that was due to SELinux on Fedora Core 3...
Hope that might give you some ideas.
