Zabbix-1.5.2 frontend setup errors

[kc5kse]

I am installing zabbix-1.5.2 from scratch. During frontend setup, I get this:

Undefined index: DB[/usr/local/zabbix-1.5.2/frontends/php/include/setup.inc.php:678]
Undefined variable: ZBX_SERVER[/usr/local/zabbix-1.5.2/frontends/php/include/setup.inc.php:685]
Undefined variable: ZBX_SERVER_PORT[/usr/local/zabbix-1.5.2/frontends/php/include/setup.inc.php:686]
Unable to select configuration

My zabbix.conf.php file is set up properly. However, during setup, I don't see those values in the gui.

Any ideas? The reason I am using zabbix-1.5.2 is becaule of the mysql error in 1.5.1. I am also having to prove distributed monitoring to the powers that be.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure what causes your problem. You may manually create zabbix.conf.php for now. It looks like:

<?php
global $DB, $IMAGE_FORMAT_DEFAULT;

$DB["TYPE"]        = "MYSQL";
$DB["SERVER"]      = "localhost";
$DB["PORT"]      = "0";
$DB["DATABASE"]    = "trunk";
$DB["USER"]        = "root";
$DB["PASSWORD"]    = "";
$IMAGE_FORMAT_DEFAULT   = IMAGE_FORMAT_PNG;
?>

Ok, now I get this:

* Undefined index: DB[/usr/local/zabbix-1.5.2/frontends/php/include/setup.inc.php:536]
* mysql_pconnect() [<a href='function.mysql-pconnect'>function.mysql-pconnect</a>]: Link to server lost, unable to reconnect[/usr/local/zabbix-1.5.2/frontends/php/include/db.inc.php:50]

I'm at a loss...

You don't have to run the Installation Wizard if the file is in place, i.e. under conf/. Just press 'Cancel'.

Whenever I try to go anywhere, it takes me to setup. I get all the way to 4. Configure DB connection and when I put in the proper config, I get:

* Undefined index: DB[/usr/local/zabbix-1.5.2/frontends/php/include/setup.inc.php:536]
* Unable to select configuration

However, the 'test connection' gives ok, but, it doesn't keep my password. I have to retype the password THEN hit next. I can go all the way to finish but it keeps giving me the abover errors.

Do you have this file with correct permissions?
/usr/local/zabbix-1.5.2/frontends/php/conf/zabbix.conf.php

[kc5kse]

Yes, owned by apache with 644 permissions.

Well, I completely wiped the slate clean and re-installed. Now, I get all the way to 7.Install and this appears in the gui:

* Undefined variable: ZBX_SERVER[/usr/local/zabbix-1.5.2/frontends/php/include/setup.inc.php:685]
* Undefined variable: ZBX_SERVER_PORT[/usr/local/zabbix-1.5.2/frontends/php/include/setup.inc.php:686]

I'm still stuck here. Any help would be greatly appreciate!
