Zabbix Server v1.5.1 - OSX 10.4 Server

[bimonitor]

Hi,

Getting the following error when trying to run the server daemon:
-----
:~ zabbix$ /usr/local/bin/zabbix_server -V
ZABBIX Server (daemon) v1.5.1 (11 April 2008)
Compilation time: Apr 15 2008 13:30:42
:~ zabbix$ /usr/local/bin/zabbix_server
/usr/local/bin/zabbix_server [696]: ERROR: Can't allocate shared memory for collector. [Invalid argument]
------
This is v1.5.1 on OS X Server v10.4.11.
Also, memory for ssh cannot be changed via sysctl.

Ideas?

check the semaphore thread. Maybe that'll give you ideas...

I ran into this same problem with 1.6 on OS X 10.4 server as well. Frustrating because 3 other OS X Server machines w/the exact same install process worked fine.

Following other threads I used:

sudo ipcs
Message Queues:
T     ID     KEY        MODE       OWNER    GROUP

Shared Memory:
T     ID     KEY        MODE       OWNER    GROUP
m 1310719    5432001 --rw------- postgres postgres

Semaphores:
T     ID     KEY        MODE       OWNER    GROUP

The other threads say to look for shared memory owned by the zabbix user, but all I found was something owned by the postgres user. I had installed postgres on this machine to test something out...in that way it was different from the others that worked.

I shut down Postgres (not needing it any more) and the issue went away. You might look for something similar, but I don't understand why the two conflict here.
