Zabbix Service

[cjwallace]

Hi guys.

Hopefully someone can help me. I have been plugging a way with Zabbix all week and openSuse 11 rebuilding my server god knows how many times but finally i think i may have cracked it. The install went pretty good this time and i can login to the web page with no issues.

However when i click on the reports page it says my Zabbix service is not running. Ok i thought i will just type in service zabbix start but it informs me such service.

Any ideas at what point i have gone wrong and how i cant start the service it needs?

Thanks in advance

Be advised that "ZABBIX is running" will show correct value only if frontend is located on the same server where located zabbix server.
