Zabbix 6.0 LTS installation error

[GB_informatics]

Hello, I want to install Zabbix 6.0 LTS on Ubuntu 22.10. When I use the command "apt install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-apache-conf zabbix-sql-scripts zabbix-agent" I have this error "zabbix-server-mysql: Depends: libevent-2.1 -7 (>= 2.1.8-stable) but it is not installable". How to correct it?

Even I am facing the same issue

zabbix-server-mysql : Depends: libevent-2.1-7 (>= 2.1.8-stable) but it is not installable
Recommends: snmpd but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

If you're using Ubuntu 22.10, I don't think the Zabbix official repository provides a corresponding package. If you want to use Zabbix official packages, try using an OS version such as 22.04 where packages are provided.

For me it's impossible to downgrade to Ubuntu 22.04. How to do ?
Zaabix 6.0 is ultimately incompatible with Ubuntu 22.10?

When a software supplier packages the application for installation using the OS pckage manager, they have to define the dependencies and whatnot to get all the necessary packages installed with the app itself. That process is OS version dependent. Zabbix does not provide free installation support for operating systems that are not listed in the download pages.

You can always try downloading the package files from repo.zabbix.com and install them manually with dpkg. Or extract the package contents manually and then copy the files to correct places etc if you like to try that but it's a hard way.

The obvious solution is to install a supported OS and then install the Zabbix packages according to the official instructions. Your Ubuntu 22.10 will be out of support in a few months anyway.

Hello,

I can't find the password when asked after the "mysql -uroot -p" command. What is the default password please?

[Markku]

Does plain

sudo mysql

work?

Markku

[GB_informatics]

yes but after when I go to the zabbix interface, at the moment of mysql password for zabbix it displays password error.

[Markku]

That's a different question then. The password is what you set for the zabbix user during the installation. If you don't know it, you can reset it as root (sudo mysql) using ALTER USER command, see for example https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mysql-...user-password/

the problem is that I don't define it because I do the command "apt install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-apache-conf zabbix-sql-scripts zabbix-agent" then follow the command "mysql - uroot -p" and I am asked for the password, which I do not know in the end

[Markku]

Use sudo mysql instead of that. Then you can set the zabbix database user as per the instructions.

Is it normal that I have to install mysql-server on the side because I have the error "error: can't connect to local mysql server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)" ?

[Markku]

Unfortunately I'm unable to help you with that. Check that your mysql server is running, and search for helpful hints in mysql forums.
