Problem installing 1.1b5

[Nico123]

Hi folks.
I've some problem installing Zabbix 1.1b5.
I've followed the installations steps compiling and installing the program.
I've created the /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf file as default.
Then I've launched zabbix_server:
# ./zabbix_server &
and I've verified it is running:
# ps -Al | grep zabbix
0 S 0 7881 7855 0 69 0 - 746 nanosl pts/1 00:00:00 zabbix_server

but if I launch:
# netstat -an|grep 10051
I get no answer, and if I try:
# telnet localhost 10051
I get:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

I've noticed that no pid and no log file are created, even if they are declared inside zabbix_server.conf

How can I fix the problem?
Thank you
Nico

Nico,

I'm having the same issue - no log file created - I don't see anything wrong in any other logs. I also don't get an error when I launch zabbix_server.

Check if ZABBIX can write to the LogFile. Perhaps the directory is write protected?

Log file is set to /tmp so that is not the issue.

I have notice that the startup scripts in /misc/init.d refer still to zabbix-suckerd, these should be changed to zabbix-server correct?

I'm running ubuntu breezy for an OS

Thankyou for your assistance. Should zabbix be running as user zabbix? If so how do I do that? I've been running it as root.

As Wulfy, log file is set to /tmp. My distro is Trustix 3.0

Problem solved: I forget to put the mysql password inside zabbix_server.conf
