Instalation in CentOS.

[primiparo]

Hi comunity !!
I'm going to install zabbix 1.6 in a server in wich must be installed with CentOS. I think mysql for bd. Some version in special for good work CentOS with Zabbix..? CentOS 5 or 4 ..? Some recomendations ?

I would go for centos 5 as its the latest support version by centos.

Works fine on CentOS5 x86_64. Most if not all dependencies are available in CentOS 5 so you probably won't need to install extra libraries.

If you're running centos 5.3 x86_64, I suggest you add multilib_policy=best to /etc/yum.conf before you install anything.

On CentOS 5.2 without any tuning, yum would install both i386 and x86_64 libs and that would cause problems later (libcurl !).
With the basearchonly plugin things were much better as yum then installs x86_64 packages only (unless you explicitly tell it to install an i386 package, or there's only an i386 package available).

multilib_policy=best is the built-in equivalent of plugin basearchonly (which is now deprecated) in yum 3.2.19 that ships with CentOS 5.3

If you're installing an i386 version of CentOS5, just forget about this.

Anyway, here's what we used:

On the zabbix_server:

• yum install gcc make
• yum install openssl openssl-devel
• yum install curl curl-devel
• yum install net-snmp net-snmp-libs net-snmp-devel
• yum install mysql mysql-devel

On the database server:

• yum install mysql-server

On the GUI/Web server:

• yum install httpd php php-mysql php-bcmath php-gd php-ldap

Or ... all of these if you intend to run all components (zabbix_server + DB + Web/GUI) on a single server.

Build/configure

./configure --enable-server --enable-agent \
--with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql_config \
--with-net-snmp \
--with-libcurl=/usr/bin/curl-config \
--prefix=/usr/local/zabbix-1.6.4

There's a more complete tutorial on the forum for installing on CentOS.

Installation in CentOS

I have found this to be the most complete install instructions for CentOS or Redhat variants.

http://bobcares.com/index.php/blog/?p=303

You may have to adjust some of the version numbers for the downloads to get the latest version. But it worked really smoothly in CentOS 5.3. and covers all the prerequisites except the Jabber libs.

I'll raise you. This is the easiest, and very complete if you want to read the code. Works on CentOS 5 and any version of 1.6.x

Though, I would recommend using packages before installing by source.

Instalation of zabbix interface...

Hello to all comrades in the struggle!
first of all, thank you very much everyone for this good input ... I was ill health, but again on the battlefield!
In this installation, one person an advance, but otherwise forget. Advancement:
. / configure - enable-server - with-mysql - with-libcurl - enable-agent
but he miss : net-snmp

I can give :

. / configure --with-net-snmp

to add what is missing or should I do ..?

indeed, as I am in that part of zabbix web interface and I get this problem:

PHP version: 5.1.6 Ok
PHP Memory limit: 16M Ok
PHP post max size: 8M Ok
PHP max execution time: 120 sec Fail
PHP Databases support: No Fail
PHP BC math support no Fail
GD Version: No Fail
Image formats: No Fail
PHP Timezone: 'America/Bogota' Ok

Fail

Any suggest....??

Hi,

you need to install some packets and adjust some parameters in php.ini

PHP version: 5.1.6 Ok
PHP Memory limit: 16M Ok
PHP post max size: 8M Ok
PHP max execution time: 120 sec Fail
PHP Databases support: No Fail
PHP BC math support no Fail
GD Version: No Fail
Image formats: No Fail
PHP Timezone: 'America/Bogota' Ok

PHP max execution time: 120 sec Fail --> sed -i 's/\(max_execution_time = \)30/\1120/' /etc/php.ini
PHP Databases support: No Fail --> install php-mysql
PHP BC math support no Fail --> install php-bcmath
GD Version: No Fail --> install php-gd

Advances in installation of zabbix web interface.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the input, i did and pass the prerequisites of the web interface. But at the end of setup, it generate this error:

Configuration file: Fail

Please install configuration file manualy.

By pressing "Save configuration file" button download configuration file and place them into the
"/var/www/html/zabbix/conf/zabbix.conf.php"


In the manual says that store under conf/ (..???...).. but no anymore...

The file generated (zabbix.conf.php) is this:

global $DB;

$DB["TYPE"] = "MYSQL";
$DB["SERVER"] = "localhost";
$DB["PORT"] = "3306";
$DB["DATABASE"] = "zabbix";
$DB["USER"] = "zabbix";
$DB["PASSWORD"] = "XXXXXXXX";
$ZBX_SERVER = "localhost";
$ZBX_SERVER_PORT = "10051";


$IMAGE_FORMAT_DEFAULT = IMAGE_FORMAT_PNG;

Any idea of what is happening ...?

I remember that the port 10051 was previously configured for Trapper zabbix (etc/services) ...that don´t create conflict against what we see in the file ..?

Advances in installation of zabbix web interface

Hi Comunity !!

Already finish this step.

It was : seems that the web interface has a bug and need to save the file that is generated (zabbix.conf.php) under the folder /conf, which are under the frontend files. (/var/www/html/zabbix, for example). then store in this folder and I retry and ready. !


On the other hand, ask: I need to add the option "--with-net-snmp" how can update the installed it until now, I can do it like this: ...??

./configure --with-net-snmp ???
