sample of zabbix installation script on centos with psql support

[michaelv]

Hello all

I like to play with beta versions of zabbix but I hate to install all requirements every time, so I wrote installation script which install zabbix on Centos server (in my case VPS )

NOTE installation should be performed on clean OS
installation tested on Centos 5.6~5.7
script install
postgresql 8.4.x
php 5.3
zabbix 1.9.6
apache2

frontend installed in /var/www/html so be careful if you have any content in that folder



also script produce rpm in my case it was zabbix-1.9.6-1.x86_64.rpm

regards,

sample of zabbix installation script on centos with psql support

Hello,

Is this script for 64bit or 32bit server? How do I use your text file and run the script in Linux centos to install zabbix? I am assuming from command line correct? Thank you.

[michaelv]

Hello

1. this script is for x64 OS, I've used it as did not have x32 machine when I wrote a script.
2 to use it just rename it to zabbix_install_centos.sh and run as sh zabbix_install_centos.sh

but if you run sh zabbix_install_centos.txt it will start installation
3. I'm planning to write a script for auto deploy zabbix from latest dev snapshot.
I suppose that this script will be useful for admins/testers who want to try latest zabbix on their environment, but who do not want to find all dependencies for installation

let me know if you will have any questions

nice script.. i think i rewrite this for Debian.. but in debian it "only" installs the zabbix-server..

[michaelv]

I've updated zabbix installation script. now its install psql 9.1/zabbix 1.9.8

you may download it from

https://www.dropbox.com/s/e205kh9vnwyppp8/zabbix198_install_centos.sh

new features

psql 9.1
zabbix 1.9.8
you would be asked to provide DB password during installation.

Let me know if you will find any problems

Centos 6 and MySQL

Hello,

this script saves a lot of work!

Could you imagine to build a switch for MySQL?
Or: Why do you prefer PostgreSQL against MySQL?

Furthermore, we work on Scientific Linux 6.1 which is almost
CentOS 6/RedHat EL 6; as far as I can see there are some minor
changes with respect to EPEL.

Thank you in advance.
Frank

Hello

1. there are a lot of guys who created install scripts for mysql support ie http://linuxnotes.us/archives/423 and almost no scripts witch created for psql support, I made script as simple as possible, because its used zabbix beta version and to be honest it's not really ready for production

2. from my experience mysql have worst performance than psql ,thus I'm using ut

3. I'm working as L3 admin at vps.net and we do not have Scientific Linux 6.1 so had no chance to play with it

my next script I'm planning to create with stable version support and for multiple OS support Centos 5.x and 6.x, hope will have some time to make it asap

install script

Hi Michail!
great work ! it work for me.

but small mistake in line
186 cp ~/install/zabbix-2.0.0rc4/misc/init.d/redhat/8.0/zabbix_* /etc/init.d/

must be zabbix-2.0.0 without 'rc4'

thanks
ps

what about put script on GitHub?

[michaelv]

Thanks for the correction

I've created repo on https://bitbucket.org/mveselovski/zabbix-auto-installer

[michaelv]

Hi guys

finally found the time and cooked new script which install zabbix 2.0.2 on centos 5.8 or 6.3 and now its one script

you may get it from bitbacket https://bitbucket.org/mveselovski/za...-installer/src

or hg clone ssh://[email protected]/mveselovski/zabbix-auto-installer

and use zabbix_2x_el_x86_64.install.sh script for installation.

let me know if you will find any issues will try to correct it immediately

also I noticed that mr Shad0w created debian install script so if he agree I ll use his script in my installer so it would be complex solution

[michaelv]

upgraded my script

as usually you may find the latest on bitbacket repo
