ZABBIX installation manual

[Neo]

Is the zabbix installation manual correct
http://www.zabbix.com/manual_install.php
Could anyone who has installed Zabbix sucessfully, explain the steps needed to get it up and working.
I think the manual is wrong. Could anyone confirm this?

[Neo]

I installed the Zabbix server and then went to localhost/zabbix
but I can't login with "Admin" and empty password or anything.
Is there something else I should do?

[Neo]

Are you referring to that

cat data.sql | mysql -u root zabbix

step?
I did that.

I just did a

select * from users;

on the zabbix database and saw that there were some values in the passwd filed so I did an update and cleared them out, but I still can't login.

Hey and thanks for the help gyrate.

[Neo]

I tried with both cases. Nothing worked.
Any other ideas?

[Neo]

Did that too, still not able to login.

Did you make a zabbix user in MySQL, and if so, make sure that the config.inc.php and the db.inc.php files reflect the user and password that you gave to zabbix for the database connection.

I had trouble at this step that was due to SELinux on Fedora Core 3...
Hope that might give you some ideas.
