Server dies on Solaris 10

[ptribble]

On Solaris 10 sparc, 1.1beta9, built with the Sun supplied gcc, zabbix_server keeps shutting down.

The error in the log is:

022802:20060512:020715 Failed to connect to database: Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (146)
022800:20060512:020715 One server process died. Shutting down...
022800:20060512:020715 ZABBIX server is down.

It doesn't tell me why it couldn't connect - the database is up and running and is reporting no errors.

Besides, shouldn't it retry the connection rather than just exit?

sure, that your mysql-Server communicates through /tmp/mysql.sock?

I'm not sure, but on my linux machine the socket for the mysqld is

/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

You can configure this option in /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

Look for:

#DBSocket=/tmp/mysql.sock

This is the default. Just uncomment this line and point it to your mysql.sock, e.g:

DBSocket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

and you should be fine (after zabbix_server restart...)

That's not it

Yes, I'm sure.

It works fine for several hours, then exits.
