Install issues with 1.1b5

[brwatters]

Hello all,

I am seeing some issues with v1.1b5 install,

I think the config and compile went without issue, all the database build was no problem .. However after getting all of this in place and installing the web gui and logging in without issue I note in the server status area that it says the server is not running (no in red) however the server is running as shown below ..

zabbix 14822 0.0 0.0 4284 1316 ? S 19:03 0:00 ./zabbix_server
zabbix 14855 0.0 0.0 4276 1300 ? S 19:03 0:00 ./zabbix_server
zabbix 14886 0.0 0.0 4284 1320 ? S 19:03 0:00 ./zabbix_server
zabbix 14948 0.0 0.0 4484 1916 ? S 19:03 0:00 ./zabbix_server
zabbix 15042 0.0 0.0 4276 1300 ? S 19:03 0:00 ./zabbix_server
zabbix 15104 0.0 0.0 4276 1300 ? S 19:03 0:00 ./zabbix_server
zabbix 15139 0.0 0.0 4276 1300 ? S 19:03 0:00 ./zabbix_server

And here is a SNIP of the log file in debug level ..

If you see zabix_server (or zabbix_suckerd) processes, it definitely means that ZABBIX server is running. The screen does not always show correct status. It depends on configuration of PHP. If your PHP is configured to disallow execution of external command (such as 'ps', 'grep', etc) then the status will be shown incorrectly, i.e. 'No'.

Ignore it for now.
